Al Stewart The Loneliest Place On The Map Lyrics

The Loneliest Place On The Map Lyrics

This place is so far away

From what passes 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 pass 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 buttoned 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
