Well, as this song was written for the film 'White Squall' it is obvious the song is talking about the town of Valparaíso in Chile. Cape Horn is considered the Mount Everest of sailing... the ultimate challenge and this is where the Albatross (the ship from White Squall) met its end. Also, in the Lighthouse overlooking Cape Horn there is a giant silhouette of an Albatross, coincidence? Beautiful song.
