Lyrics learning the blues - Katie Melua

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
