Lyrics:
The tables are empty The dance floor's deserted You play the same love song It's the tenth time you've heard itAnd that's the beginning Just one of those clues You've had your first lesson In learning the bluesThe cigarettes you light One after another Won't help you forget her Or the way that you love herYou're only burning A torch you can't lose But you're on the right track For learning the bluesWhen you're at home alone The blues will haunt you constantly When you're out in a crowd The blues will haunt your memoryThe nights when you don't sleep The whole night you're crying But you can't forget her Soon you'll stop tryingYou'll walk the floor And wear out your shoes When you're feeling your heart break You're learning the blues
