Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me




Close your eyes and trust in me
