I hear the wind call your name

[kat2006]

Hi everyone,

Here is a sentence from the lyrics of Bryan Adams's song "I will always return":

I hear the wind call your name....

I wonder why isn't it "I hear the wind calls your name"? And is there other examples like this?

Thanks in advance

You can hear, see, watch, etc somebody/something do (bare infinitive) something, doing (gerund) something or done (past partciple).

I saw Henry kill the pig.
I watched Henry killing the pig.
I saw the pig killed.
I heard the pig being killed.
I hear the wind call your name.
