Text: Go-betweens. Bye Bye Pride.

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
