The white moon appears like a hole in the sky
  The mangroves grow quiet
  In la Brisa de la Palma
  A teenage Rasputin takes the sting from a gin
  "When a woman learns to walk she's not dependent anymore"
  A line from a letter, May 24
  And out on the bay the current is strong
  A boat can go lost
  
  But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome
  Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom
  
  So take your shoes and go outside
  Stride over stride
  Walk to that tide
  'Cause the door is open wide
  
  Turned the fan off and went for a walk by the lights down on Shield Street
  The birds in the trees open their wings and he goes home again
  He dreams resistance, they talk commitment
  Things change over long distance
  Took the shirt from his back and the eyes from his head
  And left him for dead
  
  But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome
  Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom
  
  So take your shoes and go outside
  Stride over stride
  Walk to that tide
  Because the door is open wide
  
  They took pride
  They took your pride
  They took pride
  They took your pride
  But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome
  Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom
  
  So take your shoes and go outside
  Stride over stride
  Walk to that tide
  Because the door is always open wide.
  Bye bye pride
  'Cause the door is always open wide...
