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
