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
