Learnin' the Blues

The tables are empty

The dance floor's deserted

You play the same love song

It's the tenth 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 the other

Won't help you forget him

When you're loosing your lover

You're only burning

A torch you can't lose

But you're on the right track

For learnin' the blues

When you're out in a crowd

The blues will taunt you constantly

When you're out in a crowd

The blues will haunt your memory

The night when you don't sleep

The whole night you're crying

But you cannot forget him

Soon you even stop trying

You walk the floor

And wear out your shoes

When you feel your heart break

You're learnin' the blues
