The Grateful Dead — Stella Blue Live at the Palladium NYC April 30 1977

[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 years and vanished dreams [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 there's still that 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, nothing comes for free There's nothing you can hold for very long And there's still that song, come crying like the wind It seems like all this life was just a dream [Chorus] Stella Blue Stella Blue
