To their own shore
Came the world war
Gleaves and the Ingham
Leading the Bury west
Took the short way in
The long route back
Convoy 92
Bury, Gleaves and Ingham leading
Tankers to the west
And upon the North Atlantic
Lies the silence of the seas
On the quietest night
In the darkest hour
The Kriegsmarine appear
Above the surface it seems quiet and calm
Deep down below the wolfpack lurks
No!
No!
No!
To their own shore
Came the World War
Gleaves and Ingham
Leading the Bury west
In their own track
Came the wolfpack
Gleaves led the convoy
Into the hornets nest
At the crack of dawn
The second day
Bury stands in flames
Half the convoy sunk or disabled
Heading back to shore
But below the North Atlantic
On the bottom of the sea
