|
|
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.
|
|
The nights when you don't sleep, that whole night you're crying.
|
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.
