Stella

(album: Better Times - 1992)

Stella, good-bye
Last call down the line
I hear the switch bell ring
There's rain in the sky
And the lantern's alight
I'm under your angel wing

Stella, so fine
A jewel in a tear
What hides behind those eyes
Abandon the plan
Turn back the tide
Won't you stay with me
One more night

I know I'd make you stay
If it was up to me
But it's too late to try
And I wanna tell you
That I was too blind to see
Sometimes you need to cry
Ain't it the saddest truth

'Cause time's worth nothing
When a heart's so cold
And the tears have fallen
And the memories grow old
Words unspoken
Must be the saddest song
Words mean nothing
Ain't it the saddest truth

Stella, good-bye
Last call down the line
I hear the switch bell ring
There's ruin in the sky
And the lantern's alight
I'm under your angel wing
