I ran the streets through rush-hour, just to catch the northern train
I've overstayed my welcome in this big old town again
And the thing that keeps me going every time I fall apart
Is the promise of a haven for my heart

We're rolling out of Connolly and the suburbs pass me by
Along that eastern seaboard, there's a thunder stricken sky
A surrealistic lightening strikes a pathway from the dark
And I'm heading for a haven for my heart

I told you, I told you, right from the start
I'll always, always keep a haven for my heart
A haven for my heart, a refuge for my soul
A place that I can come home to when living takes it's toll

I drive towards the mountains in a pounding fall of rain
Across that see-through borderline, I feel I'm home again
I'm a salmon swimming upstream in it's cycle of re-birth
And I'm heading for a haven for my heart

I told you, I told you, right from the start
I'll always keep a haven for my heart
A haven for my heart, a refuge for my soul
A place that I can come home to when living takes it's toll

I told you, I told you, right from the start
I'll always keep a haven for my heart
A haven for my heart, a refuge for my soul
A place that I can come home to when living takes it's toll

When living takes it's toll
When living takes it's toll
