Al Stewart Antarctica Lyrics

Antarctica Lyrics

Long before I ever saw

The frost upon your face

I was haunted by
your beauty

And it drew me to this place

I felt the chill of
mystery

With one foot on your shore

And then and there resolved to
go

Where no man had before



CHORUS

Maybe I was
snowblind

But it seemed the wind spoke true

And I believed its
stories then

As dreamers sometimes do

In Antarctica

In
Antarctica



Who knows what the powers may be

That cause a man
to go

Mindless of the dangers

Out across the virgin snow

Seduced by this ambition

I easily forget

The hopeless quest of
Shackleton

The dreamlike death of Scott



CHORUS



Maybe I was snowblind

Perhaps it sapped my will

But something of
my innocence

Is wandering there still

In Antarctica

In
Antarctica

In Antarctica

In Antarctica
