Al Stewart
Antarctica
[Verse 1]
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

[PreChorus]
Maybe I was snow-blind
But it seemed the wind spoke true
And I believed its stories then
As dreamers sometimes do

[Chorus]
In Antarctica
In Antarctica

[Verse 2]
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 forgot
The hopeless quest of Shackleton
The dreamlike death of Scott
[PreChorus]
Maybe I was snow-blind
But it seemed your voice was true
And I believed the story then
As travelers sometimes do

[Chorus]
In Antarctica
In Antarctica

[Flute Solo, Guitar Solo]

[PreChorus]
And maybe I was snow-blind
Perhaps it sapped my will
But something of my innocence
Is wandering there still

[Chorus]
In Antarctica
In Antarctica
Antarctica
Antarctica

[Guitar Solo]
