Learning The Blues
The tables are empty - the dance floor 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 learning the blues 
The cigarettes you light - one after the other 
Won't help you forget him – when you're losing your lover 
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose 
But you're on the right track - for learning the blues 
When you're out in the 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'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes 
When you feel your heart break - you're learning the blues
