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]
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] Explain Request ×
