G5          E5          G5        E5
It's after midnight, I lie in my bed
   G5          E5                 D5
Thoughts are running through my head
 C5            E5            C5       D5
It's running empty and I'm going insane
  G5         C5       E5      E5 G5
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
 C5       G5       C5       G5
Hear me calling, in the night
 C5       G5        D5            D5
Hear me calling, nothing's allright
 C5       G5             C5           G5
Hear me calling, the whole night through
 C5       G5       C5       G5           C5       G5
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
