The Loneliest Place On The Map

The Loneliest Place On The Map - Al Stewart (capo 3) 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 Am B B#o7 (x34242) 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 my way back It`s all as remote As the wintry smile that you gave As you buttoned your coat F#dim7 E 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 my way back
