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 drown [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 drown
