San diego serenade lyrics

Artist  : Tom waits 
Song : San diego serenade
 
I never saw the morning ’til I stayed up all
night
I never saw the sunshine ’til you turned out the
light
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too
long
I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.

I never saw the white line, ’til I was leaving
you behind
I never knew I needed you ’til I was caught up in
a bind
I never spoke ’i love you’ ’til I cursed you in
vain,
I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went
insane.

I never saw the east coast ’til I move to the
west
I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your
breast
I never saw your heart ’til someone tried to
steal,
Tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears until they rolled down
your face.
