that day is done

Lyrics

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'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,
