V1. 
I'm still wearing your jeans
The pant legs drag along
Leaving a trail behind
As I try to hold on
I wipe away my tears
Not feeling very strong but the trail just keeps on going on and on

CH.   
This is the last misty rain that you'll ever see
This is the last time the yellow dog will play in the breeze
This is the last time you'll see these jeans that you wore
It is my only reminder as I walk out the door

V2.   
Your breath against my lips
Your body against mine
I was picking flowers
When our hearts became entwined
But the thorns on the branches
They cut deep inside so I'm walking away leaving you behind

CH.
This is the last misty rain that you'll ever see
This is the last time the yellow dog will play in the breeze
This is the last time you'll see these jeans that you wore
It is my only reminder as I walk out the door

SOLO

BR   
My suitcase is packed and so is my life
The neighbors are staring through cold black eyes
My whole sense of being
Is thrown in with my clothes
And I'm standing naked
On the side of the road

CH.
This is the last misty rain that you'll ever see
This is the last time the yellow dog will play in the breeze
This is the last time you'll see these jeans that you wore
It is my only reminder as I walk out the door

V3.
And you're standing alone
With your cheap cigarettes
As the smoke becomes fog
Throwing words of regret
But I can't see clearly
I take the next step with all my memories I want to forget

CH.
This is the last misty rain that you'll ever see
This is the last time the yellow dog will play in the breeze
This is the last time you'll see these jeans that you wore
It is my only reminder as I walk out the door
It is my only reminder as I walk out the door

This lyric was inspired by a translation Yolande was doing into English from another song written in Afrikaanese.  It's one of my personal favorite lyrics.

It is a very long song and maybe the chorus was repeated too much but nobody wanted to cut it back :), they wanted more actually!!

Thank you kindly Paul.
