That’s why she walks or so they say
That day is done, that day is done
What can I do? That day is done
You know where I’ve gone, I won’t be coming back
I know, I must stay underground
Still, every time is like the first
That day is done, that day is done
Before whatever out there is gone
That’s when a thrill becomes a hurt
She walks away from my resting place
You know where I’ve gone, I won’t be coming back
That day is done, that day is done
It’s just a promise, that I made
That day is done
Hot scalding tears, I thought would flow
I thought at once my heart would burst
I wished that I could interrupt
There was applause when she stepped up
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
Still in my heart, they’ll never show
She always knew just what I needed
That day is done
When they announced her precious face
I said I’d walk in her parade
Well, I recall, the time and place
Now if she would, just look my way
But you know where I’ve gone, I won’t be coming back
You know where I’ve gone, I won’t be coming back
That day is done
I know I’ll never see her face
I made no sign, I made no sound
One time before they proceed
