Elvis Costello That Day Is Done Lyrics

That Day Is Done Lyrics

(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
