Night Life on P63 - HMS Unswerving
| Miles at sea, beneath the deep We immerse our weary way A constant watch, we have to keep Throughout the Night and Day A periscope breaks through the foam To scan the silvery sea In case a ship should chance to roam Manned by the enemy Dived all day, the air gets thin And breathing is so cruel Some thirty men encased within Awaiting its renewal The welcome night descends at last And Spreads its protective cloak The weary hours of Day are past Without a single smoke We break the surface with a rush The hatch is opened wide All is quiet, the night is hush But for the lapping tide Oh! what a change, this air so sweet, A chance to smoke at will The rhythm that the engines beat Throughout the night - so still The stars shine bright far up above A refreshing breeze doth blow The sort of night that we all love When Natures beauties show. But very soon the sun will rise And set the Heavens aglow Another dawn breaks through the skies So it's time to go below Bows down she slides beneath the foam To start another day But soon those bows she'll turn home 'UNSWERVING' on her way |
