The Very Best of Elvis Costello 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

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
