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
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

| maplebed (Boston, MA) | Posted: Jun 16, 2009 - 15:38 As cheesy as it sounds, I really like hearing the themesongs from various TV shows every now and again. I remember when BSG came through, there's a little bit of "Aww, I remember how much I enjoyed hearing that..." This makes me feel the same way. Ok, it's embarassing to admit that I both like hearing old TV show theme songs and admit that I watched the Gilmore Girls... ;) |
| lmic (Narrow Minded Couch Potato) | Posted: May 07, 2009 - 16:26 Where are the Lorelais now?  |

The only piece of her Christian recording career worth checking out is "The Turning," her first T-Bone album, and last album before leaving that industry . . . yes, agree with you. we followed her all thru her career too. Realizing more recently-- what a great songwriter she is. The Turning. excellent. |

No either way is perfectly OK. |

yup, me too. "The Turning" is still one of my favorite album. Timeless. |

How do you figure that? Checking through the last 24 hours she's been played all of twice. Would that all the Clear Channel stations overplayed songs that way... |

She has a unique voice and i love her lyrics. Martinis and Bikinis is one of my all time favorites! Baby i can't please you...the eternal mantra of my relationships. I have stopped wanting to! Wow! Great to hear someone else has had bizarre dreams after a breakup (thought I might have been alone, pardon the pun, on that one). Also, nice, simple way to explain why most relationships don't work out, even if it is a harsh reality. |
| TheLoneIguana (Fresno, CA) | Posted: Jan 27, 2005 - 09:44 I bought a Sam Philips CD at a shop in LA, and the clerk was really glad that someone else knew who she was. I proceeded to tell him all about RP  |
| madtowner11 | Posted: Jan 27, 2005 - 09:41 When Homer Simpson was asked about his kids, he said he loved Bart and Lisa. Then, when reminded that he forgot about Maggie, he said, "I got nothin' against Maggie." I got nothin' against this song. It's nice and soft. Hey, kinda like Maggie! |
| ChardRemains (Pepperland) | Posted: Oct 01, 2004 - 12:59 I am all for people candidly expressing opinions, and this is quite a nice tune, IMHO. What I am not for, is people disrespecting each other for their opinions. Opinions are opinions, not reflections of character. |
| Pyro (Between a rock and a hard place) | Posted: Oct 01, 2004 - 12:57 On the guitar part in the very beginning, it sounds like Neil Young's "Pocahontas". Anyone else hear that? |
| Tux (The Netherlands) | Posted: May 28, 2004 - 08:14 Everybody is entitled on his/her own opinion. If someone doesn't like this quite nice tune, he/she stand in his/her right to use the puke icon. I think this is enjoyable music, but I'm very glad there are numerous other songs where I use the puke image not enough as it is. |
