Your first steps in the sand Your first cigarette in your hand What you've known all this time will be left behind Remember that you're leaving the rain Fifteen footprints in the snow All your friends are left alone But you'll push your way through towards something new Remember that you're leaving the rain All alone in a new land A language you don't understand But in time you will find some peace of mind Remembering you're leaving the rain Fifteen footprints in the snow My, oh my, oh, how you've grown When you look to the north Don't close that door Just remember that you're leaving the rain Trying to remind yourself Of your father's failing health And I know that you'll find some comfort by Remembering you're leaving the rain
