(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 hometown 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 until 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 hometown till I stayed away too long |
|
I never heard the melody till I needed the song |
