Learnin' the Blues
The tables are empty - the dance floor's desertedYou play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard itThat's the beginning - just one of the cluesYou've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after anotherWon't help you forget her - and the way that you love herYou're only burnin' - a torch you can't loseBut you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone,the blues will taunt you constantlyWhen you're out in a crowd,the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're cryin'But you can't forget her - soon you even stop tryin'You'll walk that floor - and wear out your shoesWhen you feel your heart break – you’re learnin’ the blues…
