Tom Waits
San Diego Serenade
[Verse 1]
Never saw morning 'til I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine 'til I turned out the light
Never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody 'til I needed the song
[Verse 2]
I never saw the white line 'til I was leaving you behind
Never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind
I never spoke "I loved you" 'til I cursed you in vain
Never felt my heartstrings 'til I nearly went insanе
[Verse 3]
I never saw the еast coast 'til I moved to the west
Never saw the moonlight 'til it shone off your breast
Never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal it away
I never saw your tears 'til they rolled down your face
[Verse 1]
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
Never saw the sunshine 'til I turned out the light
Never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long
And I never heard the melody until I needed the song
[Outro]
'Til I needed the song
I never heard the melody 'til I needed
'Til I needed the song
