G Em G Em It's after midnight, I lie in my bed G Em D Thoughts are running through my head C Em C D It's running empty and I'm going insane G C Em Em/F# G 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 C G C G Hear me calling, in the night C G D D Hear me calling, nothing's allright C G C G Hear me calling, the whole night through C G C G C G 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
