|
The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted. |
|
You play the same love song - it's the 10th time you've heard it. |
|
That's the beginning, just one of the clues. |
|
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues. |
|
The cigarettes you light, one after another, |
|
Won't help you forget her, and the way that you love her. |
|
You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose. |
|
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues. |
|
When you're at home alone, |
|
The blues will taunt you constantly. |
|
When you're out in a crowd, |
|
The blues will haunt your memory. |
|
The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're crying. |
|
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying. |
|
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes. |
|
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues. |
|
When you're at home alone, |
|
The blues will taunt you constantly. |
|
When you're out in a crowd, |
|
Those blues will haunt your memory. |
|

|
But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying. |
|
You'll walk the floor, and you'll wear out your shoes. |
|
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' those blues. |
