Lilac Wine

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
