Elvis Costello - That Day Is Done lyrics

(mccartney/macman*s) I feel such sorrow, i feel such shame I know i won't arrive on time Before whatever out there is gone What can i do, that day is done It's just a promise that i made I said i'd walk in her parade Hot scalding tears i thought would flow Still in my heart they'll never show Chorus: That day is done That day is done You know where i've gone i won't be coming back That day is done Well i recall the time and place When they announced her precious face I thought at once my heart would burst Still every time is like the first There was applause when she stepped up I wished that i could interrupt I made no sign, i made no sound I know i must stay underground Chorus That's why she walks, or so they say She always knew just what i needed Now if she would just look my way One time before they proceed She sprinkles flowers in the dirt That's when a thrill becomes a hurt I know i'll never see her face She walks away from my resting place Chorus
