Verse 1We tried to sleep up in the banks of snow
But soon discovered it was far too cold
So, we then retreated into town
To find a place where there was level ground
Pre-chorusAah aah call home
Go home, go home
ChorusAnd oh, oh Switzerland
You've taken 'way my breath now once again
You left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can't pick themselves up off the ground
Oh Switzerland
I never thought I'd have you as a friend
I'm praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
Verse 2Our drinks were hardly worth the price we paid.
But we thank God for them anyway
And with five minutes left, we broke our backs
To spend more money than either of us had
Pre-chorusAah aah go home
Go home, go home
ChorusAnd oh, oh Switzerland
You've taken 'way my breath now once again
You left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can't pick themselves up off the ground
Oh Switzerland
I never thought I'd have you as a friend
I'm praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
Bridge
ChorusAnd oh, oh Switzerland
You've taken 'way my breath now once again
You left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can't pick themselves up off the ground
Oh Switzerland
I never thought I'd have you as a friend
I'm praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
And oh, oh Switzerland
You've taken 'way my breath now once again
You left me with a sense of compassion
For the ones who can't pick themselves up off the ground
Oh Switzerland
I never thought I'd have you as a friend
I'm praying it was not at all pretend
I need you now to help pick me up from off the ground
