Lyrics

A white moon appears like a hole in the sky
The mangroves go quiet
In the breeze of De La Palma
A teenage rescue takes the sting from a gin
When a woman learns to walk
She's not dependent anymore
A line from 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
To take your shoes and go outside
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
'Cause the door is open wide
Turn the fan off and went for a walk
By the lights down on Shields Street
The birds in the trees open their throats
He goes home again
So he dreams resistance
They talk commitment
Things change over long distance
Took the shirt off his back
The ice 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
To take your shoes and go outside
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
'Cause the door is open wide
Who took pride?
They'll take your pride
Who took pride?
They'll take your pride
That's what I'm telling you
They'll take your pride, pride, pride, pride, pride, pride
They took your shoes and go outside
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
'Cause the door is open wide
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
Bye bye pride
'Cause the door is open wide
The door is always open wide
The door is always open wide
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye pride
Bye bye, bye bye
Lost my pride
