Stella Blue
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia
Published By: Ice Nine Publishing Co., Inc. (ASCAP)

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 vanished years


Stella Blue
Stella Blue


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


Stella Blue
Stella Blue


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


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
It seems like all this life
Was just a dream


Stella Blue
