San Diego Serenade — текст песни (Tom Waits)

I never saw the mornin` `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 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

I never saw the mornin` `til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine `til you turned out your love light babe
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody until I needed the song
