That Day Is Done - Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello

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`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…
