San Diego Serenade

Words & music: tom waits



Never saw the morning till i stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine till i turned out the light

Never saw my home town till i stayed away too long

I never heard the melody till i needed the song



Never saw the white line till i was leavin' you behind

Never knew i needed you till i was caught up in a bind

And i never spoke i love you till i cursed you in vain

Never felt my heart strings until i nearly went insane



Never saw the east coast until i moved to the west

I never saw the moonlight till it shone off your breast

And i never saw your heart till someone tried to steal it away

Never saw your tears till they rolled down your face



I never saw the morning till i stayed up all night

Never saw the sunshine till you turned out the light

Never saw my home town till i stayed away too long

I never heard the melody till i needed the song
