Chorus

Bridge

Stella Blue

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

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

Come crying like the wind

Seems like all this life

Was just a dream

Chorus

Stella Blue

Garcia/Hunter, written at the Chealsea Hotel, NYC, 1970.
