The Grateful Dead
Stella Blue (Live in Cairo, Egypt, September 15, 1978)
[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 dreams and shattered years

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Verse 2]
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 (Shine)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When all the cards are down, there's nothing left to see
There’s just the pavement left and broken dreams
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
