When we open our eyes and dream we open our eyes

Under normal we change the wind
Facing every direction
Planted in the future we live two lives
All to reveal a secret we can’t hide

When we open our eyes and dream we open our eyes

We search the sky planets chasing stars
Pulling toward deep affection
Weights and numbers measure a wound that won’t heal
All to reveal a secret we can’t hide

When we open our eyes and dream we open our eyes

Produced by T Bone Burnett
Personnel:
Sam Phillips—vocals, guitar
Carla Azar—traps, maracas
T Bone Burnett—bass
Although it’s not credited, I think Marc Ribot does some guitar in the left speaker on the verses and it’s probably T Bone on electric guitar on the right side in the verses.
