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      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      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      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
