Lyrics

The ships are coming
And they're right on time
They're coming for me
And I don't know why

I'll just close my eyes...
...close my eyes...

The wind is blowin'
With the midnight sun
Can you feel it blowin'
Makes me want to run

But I'll just close my eyes...
...close my eyes...

(chorus)
In you I trust
In you I trust
Velvet sky
I'm flying high
Velvet sky
Flying high
In you I trust
