The Grateful Dead
Stella Blue (Live at Philadelphia Civic Center, Philadelphia, PA, August 4-5, 1974)
[Verse 1]
All the years combine, they melt into a dream
A broken angel sings from a guitar
In the end there's just a song, comes crying up the night
Through all the broken years and vanished dreams

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Verse 2]
When all the cards are down, there's nothing left to see
There's just the pavement left and broken dreams
And there's just a song, comes crying like the wind
Down every lonely street there's ever been

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Bridge]
I've stayed in every blue light cheap hotel
Can't win for trying
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
Gonna make them shine
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
It all rolls into one, nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold for very long
Then you hear that song, come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Instrumental]
