|
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 |
|
