Lyrics

By paul mccartney and declan 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

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
