[00:00.840]The tables are empty,
[00:06.580]The dance floor deserted,
[00:13.640]You play the same love song,
[00:19.920]It’s the tenth time you’ve heard it.
[00:26.80]
[00:26.860]That’s the beginning,
[00:33.500]Just one of the clues,
[00:40.830]You’ve had your first lesson,
[00:46.790]In learnin’ the blues.
[00:52.600]
[00:54.820]The cigarettes you light,
[00:58.480]One after the other,
[01:05.740]Won’t help you forget him,
[01:12.770]When your losing your lover.
[01:20.39]
[01:21.930]You’re only burning,
[01:27.80]A torch you can’t lose,
[01:34.0]But you’re on the right track,
[01:40.150]For learnin’ the blues.
[01:47.630]
[01:48.890]When you’re out in a crowd,
[01:54.539]The blues will taunt you constantly,
[02:00.280]When you’re out in a crowd,
[02:07.350]The blues will haunt your memory.
[02:13.660]
[02:16.90]The nights when you don’t sleep,
[02:22.310]The whole night you’re cryin’,
[02:28.530]But you can not forget him,
[02:34.829]Soon you even stop tryin’,
[02:40.600]
[02:43.0]You’ll walk the floor,
[02:48.860]And wear out your shoes,
[02:55.770]When you feel your heart break,
[03:01.700]You're learnin’ the blues.
