Lyrics

[00:16.59] The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted.
[00:23.06] You play the same love song - it's the 10th time you've heard it.
[00:32.23] That's the beginning, just one of the clues.
[00:38.23] You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues.
[00:45.50]
[00:46.65] The cigarettes you light, one after another,
[00:54.04] Won't help you forget her, and the way that you love her.
[01:01.09] You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose.
[01:09.00] But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues.
[01:15.68]
[01:16.74] When you're at home alone,
[01:19.06] The blues will taunt you constantly.
[01:22.45] When you're out in a crowd,
[01:27.29] The blues will haunt your memory.
[01:30.73]
[01:31.92] The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're crying.
[01:38.50] But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying.
[01:47.53] You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes.
[01:53.73] When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues.
[02:01.12]
[02:03.28] When you're at home alone,
[02:08.76] The blues will taunt you constantly.
[02:12.25] When you're out in a crowd,
[02:16.16] Those blues will haunt your memory.
[02:19.38]
[02:20.62] The nights when you don't sleep, that whole night you're crying.
[02:26.89] But you can't forget her, soon you even stop trying.
[02:36.69] You'll walk the floor, and you'll wear out your shoes.
[02:43.17] When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' those blues
[02:50.93]
