Del Amitri Bye Bye Pride
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...
