The Grateful Dead
Stella Blue (Live at Alexandra Palace, London, September 10, 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 at the night
Through all the broken dreams and vanished 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
In the end there's still that song, comes crying like the wind
Down every lonely street that's ever been

[Refrain]
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 'em shine

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

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Instrumental Outro]
