Latitude 88 North Lyrics
The iceman came to me tonight
So very near but out of sight
I heard the footsteps in the hall
And I heard a cold voice call
It's such a lonely world
Then I knew that you were gone
It came to me, I was alone
Now I'm left out in the cold
But the story's far from told
It's such a lonely world
It's like Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
Frozen shadows in the doorways
They will linger there always
And as the dawn begins to break
She's gone, it's hard to take
It's such a lonely world
It's like Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
So very near but out of sight
I heard the footsteps in the hall
And I heard a cold voice call
It's such a lonely world
Then I knew that you were gone
It came to me, I was alone
Now I'm left out in the cold
But the story's far from told
It's such a lonely world
It's like Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
Frozen shadows in the doorways
They will linger there always
And as the dawn begins to break
She's gone, it's hard to take
It's such a lonely world
It's like Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
[Outro]
It's like Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
It's like Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me
Latitude 88 North
It's so cold, cold as hell
35 below and fallin'
How I wish that she was callin' me

Genius Annotation
The song Latitude 88 North depicts the loss of a loved one. It could be a lover, a mother, a sister – any female related someway to the narrator. The song starts off with the contrast of major and minor keys; still keeping the bright authenticity of ELO but not distracting from the fact that this is, in fact, a very sad song.
