Someone for a Day - Andy Irvine, John Wesley, Mark Prator

Why do you cry for her

She’s not gone to heaven

She’s just around the corner

With some man

You grieve as if she’s died

And been taken

She’s just slipped from you

Like water through your hands

She said, I know a little

About losing people

I watched 'em come and go

Like moving pictures of a life

You give what you can

But they slip right through ya

Like they were never here

They fade into the night

She looked at me and said

«I gave my all, to get nothing»

The value of our lives won’t fill a grave

I’d trade my soul to be part of something

I’d trade my life to be someone for a day

Someone for a day
