Elvis Costello - That Day Is Done - Текст песни

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 
Where they announced her precious face 
I thought at once my heart would burst 
Still every time is like the first 

There was applause as 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 
But 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
