something for Momma?
Flowers 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 wish that I could interrupt. I made no sign, I made no sound, I know I must stay underground. But 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, well, 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.

"That Day Is Done" was written by Elvis Costello, and a leftover 'present' for Paul's album when they both collaborated on the writing for the "Flowers" album.
The lyric is a very personal and autobiographical reflection (as is more often the case in Costello's songs) about the guilt he feels when confronted with the fact that he didn't make it on time for his own mothers funeral in Ireland.
