The Grateful Dead — Stella Blue Live at the Oakland Coliseum October 10 1976

[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 Down all the lonely streets and broken years [Chorus] 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 And yet there's just a song, comes crying like the wind Down every lonely street that's ever been [Chorus] 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 them shine (Shine) [Instrumental break] [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, crying like the wind It seems like all this life was just a dream [Chorus] Stella Blue Stella Blue Stella Blue
