transmission of any kind.
do not duplicate. not for rental.

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 day is done.

You know where I've gone,
I won't be coming back,
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,
that day is done.

You know where I've gone,
I won't be coming back,
that day is done.

Well, you know where I've gone,
I won't be coming back,
that day is done, ooh.
