That Day Is Done

Song byPaul McCartney

in AlbumFlowers In The Dirt

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.
