paroles de chanson San Diego Serenade (Live on KPFK FM, Los Angeles, CA 1974) - Tom Waits

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 moved 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.
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night
I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out your lovelights, baby
I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long
I never heard the melody, until I needed the song.
