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.
