4. Always Have a Haven
// April 6th, 2009 // Writing On The Wall
I had the great privilege of working with Roger Gustafsson on this song. He had the groove already down for the verse and chorus parts when I got into the picture. Together we worked on tweaking it, adding a bridge, structuring the form and writing some lyrics. I think it turned out a great, commercial sounding country rock radio tune.
The backing track is riveting and immediately catches your ear, all due to Roger’s genious with his instruments. There’s even some banjo in there if you listen closely…

Always Have a Haven
(Roger Gustafsson, Jana Persson)
Put a little lovin’
In that lovin’ cup of yours
You were all I wished for
Everything I wanted
It was such a sweet dream
Whispering the secret words
Now I know things will
Never be the same here
So now I’ve got a broken heart
So now you wanna make a new start
Somebody like you
Will always have a haven
Always have a haven
Shoulda seen the stop sign
Shoulda heard the thunder roar
Blind and deaf from my
Complete infatuation
Shoulda paid attention
Not to try and hold you back
Should have known you were
Too good to be true
So now I’ve got a broken heart
So now you wanna make a new start
Somebody like you
Will always have a haven
Always have a haven
All the days, all the passionate nights
All the love we made
Still too close to realize
That memories will fade away
So now I’ve got a broken heart
So now you wanna make a new start
Somebody like you
Will always have a haven
