Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All the years combine
They melt into a dream
A broken angel sings from a guitar
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
When all the cards are down
There's nothing left to see
There's just the pavement left
And broken dreams
[Verse 4]
In the end, there's still that song
Comes crying the like the wind
Down every lonely street that's ever been
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
[Verse 5]
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 6]
It all rolls into one
And nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold for very long
[Verse 7]
And when you hear that song
Come crying like the wind
It seems like all this life was just a dream
Stella Blue
Stella Blue
