Hear Me Calling

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
