Overlee Songtext
von The Rentals

It is the saddest day
When you 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 room mate 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
And we could swim around and round and round
And we could swim and swim until we drowned
We could swim around and round and round

I wanna take you to Overlee
Floating 'round endlessly
No language and no country
Where I could hold you tenderly
I would take you over me
I wanna take you to Overlee


Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round
Round and round and round

Where we could swim around and round and round
And we could swim and swim until we drowned
