Antarctica - Al Stewart

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 it’s 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
