Overlee - The Rentals

It is the saddest day

When ya find you’re alone

Well, that’s why I’m here with you

See, I got no place to go

Yeah, the truth is I feel safe here

The most comforting place that I know

It’s still the saddest day

When you say this is not my home

I wanna take you to Overlee

In a blue world floating endlessly

Where there’s no language and there’s no country

I wanna take you to Overlee

Now, I return to your place

Knocking trying to get in

And your roommate opens the door

And says «Why are you back here again?»

I put my things down in the hall

Quietly enter your room

You’re sound asleep with the cats

As I climb back in bed with you

I wanna take you to Overlee

In a blue world floating endlessly

Where there’s no language and there’s no country

I wanna take you to Overlee

And we could swim around and round and round (in the blue)

And we could swim around and round and round (in the blue)

And we could swim and swim until we drowned (in the blue)

We could swim (we could swim) around and round and round

I wanna take you to Overlee (Overlee)

Floating 'round endlessly (endlessly)

No language and no country (Overlee)

Where I could hold you tenderly (tenderly)

I would take you over me (over me)

I wanna take you to Overlee

Round and round and round (round and round)

Where we could swim around and round and round

And we could swim and swim until we drowned
