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

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
