That Day Is Done

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 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 That day is done that day is done You know where I’ve gone I won’t be coming back That day is done               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 That day is done that day is done You know where I’ve gone I won’t be coming back That day is done
