That Day Is Done

(mccartney/macmanus)

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
