    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 crawling in the night
    Through all the broken dreams
    And vanished years
    Stella Blue, Stella Blue
    When all the cards are drawn
    And there's nothing left to see
    There's just a playground 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 cheap hotel
    Can't win for trying
    Dust off those rusty strings
    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, Stella Blue

As well as the solid tempo. And a few bass lines that were different than the original. Really nice presentation of the song, Dylan giving it his own treatment while retaining the spirit of the original. Thanks for videoing & posting this! 🙏🙌✨
