The lights of the harbor are pointing the way
To carry me home, carry me home
Out on patrol for the last hundred days
Now carry me home, carry me home
A life underwater's a desperate plan
The boredom and fear take their toll on a man
Fighting a war where there's no Sun or Land
Oh won't you carry me home
We sighted the convoy an hour away
to battle we roam, to battle we roam
A tanker in two by the end of the day
a hundred men gone, ten thousand tonnes gone
The straits off of Ireland's a desperate plight
So unforgiving with no moon in sight
There's no escaping the wolfpack at night
now if we only get home
The planes and destroyers are hounds on the chase
so carry me home, carry me home
The hunter's now hunted, it's time that we race
to carry me home, carry me home
The danger had found us in the Bay of Biscay
For just one more hour of life do I pray
The bottom's our grave within sight of the quay
Forever and ever our home, now I am finally home
The water's forever my home
