The Grateful Dead
Stella Blue (Live at Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY, April 21, 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 like the wind
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 just a song, comеs crying like the wind
Through all lonely street thеre have 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 'em shine (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 come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream

[Refrain]
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
Stella Blue

[Instrumental Outro]
