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