Katie Melua Learnin` The Blues Lyrics

Learnin` The Blues Lyrics

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 another 

Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her 

You're only burning - a torch you can't lose 

But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues 



When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly 

When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory 



The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying 

You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying 

You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes 

When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the blues
