Перевод песни
Tom Waits - San-Diego Serenade

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 move 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 love light, baby,

I never saw my hometown 'til I stayed away too long,

I never heard the melody until I needed the song
