Tom Waits - San Diego Serenade lyrics

I never saw the mornin' 'til I stayed up all night

I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light, babe

I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long

I never heard the melody until I needed the song

I never saw the white line 'til I was leavin' you behind

I never knew I needed you until I was caught up in a bind

I never spoke "I love you" 'til I cursed you in vain

I never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane

I never saw the east coast until I moved to the west

I never saw the moonlight until it shone off of your breast

I never saw your heart until someone tried to steal it, tried to steal it away

I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face
