Dm A
For now it’s part of you
Verse 2:
Careful plays on fields that seem to
Vanish when they’re in between
And softly as I walk away
In freshly tattered shoes
It cannot be a part of me
For now it’s part of you

Verse 3:
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what we had to say
And one more time a faded dream
Is saddened by the news
It cannot be a part of me
For now it’s part of you
