Al Stewart - Antarctica lyrics

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 Maybe I was snowblind But it seemed the wind spoke true And I believed its 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 d**h of Scott Maybe I was snowblind But it seemed the wind spoke true And I believed its stories then As dreamers sometimes do In Antarctica In Antarctica 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
