Haven For The Blues Lyrics

Well I saw the weather freezing muddy puddles in my yard

Some days are warm and willing and some days life is hard

There's water in my basement there's ice inside my veins

There's very little sunshine when you're gone it mostly rains

I checked the morning papers hoping that I'd find some news

But nothing ever happens in this haven for the blues

I can hear the freight train whistle from my living room at night

And I wonder where it's heading as it rumbles out of sight

So I pluck another love song from this broken down guitar

As the evening turns to morning and I wonder where you are

I checked the weather channel kind of hoping for a storm

They said it's getting cold again before it's getting warm

I've been creeping through a nightmare wishing I could find a map

Crawling through the swamplands with a suitcase and a cap

While a scientist is scheming in a straw hut near the beach

About to make a breakthrough though the answer's out of reach

I checked my cheap alarm clock kind of hoping it was broke

It told me to wake up again before I ever spoke

I saw the weather freezing I prayed that it would stop

I heard the freight train whistle I watched her sandal drop

I felt the chilly whisper of a lover from my past

Who moved too slow then had to go but went away too fast

I checked into this hotel knowing someone had to lose

But nothing ever happens in this haven for the blues

I checked the morning paper hoping that I'd find some news

But nothing ever happens in this haven for the blues

Nothing ever happens in this haven for the blues
