A white moon appears

Like a hole in the sky,

The mangroves go 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 front her 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.

Until you take your shoes

And go outside, stride over stride.

Walk to that tide because

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 ...

He goes home again.

He dreams resistance,

They talk commitment,

Things change over long distance.

Took the shirt off his back

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.

Until you take your shoes

And go outside, stride over stride,

Walk to that tide because

The door is open wide.



Little lies, they'll take your pride.

Until you take your shoes

And go outside. stride over stride,

Walk to that tide because

The door is open wide.

Stride over stride

Walk to that tide.

Bye, Bye Pride.

Because the door is open wide.

The door is always open wide.

The door is always open wide.
