Lonliest 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 southern most ocean so cold Just 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 Just 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 And night time is utterly black I came here by some grave mishap And I can’t find my way back home This place is remote As the wintery smile that you gave As you buttoned your coat And love was erased So this is goodbye I see you silently rowing away With the desolate sky threatening rain It’s the loneliest place on the map And night time is utterly black I came here by some grave mishap And I can’t find my way back home
