Al Stewart - The Loneliest Place on the Map lyrics

This place is so far away From what pa**es for civilized life No shops and no cars and no city lights Just a river of stars Over the southernmost ocean so cold A small group of rocks, seagulls and ice Some ramshackle huts A paper in french from long ago A finger that juts out into the foam No boats come this way A few expeditions that pa** now and then They'll be back someday But I don't know when It's the loneliest place on the map Night time is utterly black I came here by some grave mishap And I can't find my way back It's all as remote As the wintry smile that you gave As you bu*toned your coat And love was erased So this is goodbye I see you silently rowing away The desolate sky threatening rain It's the loneliest place on the map Night time is utterly black I came here by some grave mishap And I can't find my way back
