The Grateful Dead
Stella Blue (Live at Paramount Northwest Theatre, Seattle, WA, July 21, 1972)
[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 wind
Through all lonely streets and shattered years

[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 still you hear that song, it's crying like the wind
Down every lonely street that'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
Can't keep from crying
[Instrumental break]

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

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
