C Am C Am
It's after midnight, I lie in my bed
C Am G
Thoughts are running through my head
F Am F G
It's running empty and I'm going insane
C F Am Am/B C
There is a picture burned in my brain
Skippers were leaning at the ships-rail
We stood there shivering on the quai
When they reached the sea, they hoisted the sails
Then they were never seen again
Refrain
F C F C
Hear me calling, in the night
F C G G
Hear me calling, nothing's allright
F C F C
Hear me calling, the whole night through
F C F C F C
Hear me calling, I miss you, my son, I miss you
Seven days later they got into a storm
Their ship sprung a leak, the sails were torn
The operator sent a last SOS
Before the sea took them to their final rest
Refrain
Now I pass the nights waking and talking with you
I can hear your voice, yeah, it's true
In starry nights I see you above
And from far I can hear you laugh
Refrain
