San Diego Serenade Lyrics - The Heart Of Saturday Night - 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.
