Lyrics All for the ake of the song - Roger Creager
Her
name
was
Stella
and
she
was
old
And
grey,
she
had
rusty
strings
and
keys
And
to
tune
her
it
took
a
pair
of
pliers
and
lots
of
elbow
grease
She
awakened
me
to
the
melody,
Like
the
light
from
a
brand
new
da-a-a-a-awn
And
from
that
moment
on
It
was
all
for
the
sake
of
a
song
Her
name
was
Maggie,
She
had
eyes
like
fire
that
burned
for
me
in
the
dark
And
all
she
wanted
was
my
very
soul
And
all
she
could
take
from
my
heart
But
to
her
dismay
a
choice
was
made
and
when
the
deed
was
do-o-o-one
She
turned
and
I
was
gone
It
was
all
for
the
sake
of
the
song
For
the
sake
of
the
song,
I
walk
my
own
road
For
the
sake
of
the
song,
not
for
silver
and
gold
Some
may
think
that
I
was
wrong
but
in
my
heart
I
kno-o-o-o-oww
I've
known
all
along
It
was
all
for
the
sake
of
the
song
Her
name
was
Laura
and
she
was
pure
Like
crystal,
shinin'
alone
on
the
shelf
And
from
the
moment
that
her
eyes
met
Mine
I
knew
there
could
be
nobody
else
Kindred
souls
singing
free
in
perfect
Harmony,
two
hearts
now
beat
as
o-o-o-one
The
road
goes
on
and
on
And
it's
all
for
the
sake
of
the
song
For
the
sake
of
the
song
I
walk
my
own
road
For
the
sake
of
the
song,
not
for
silver
and
gold
Some
may
think
that
I
am
wrong
but
in
my
heart
I
kno-o-o-o-ow
I've
known
all
along
It
was
all
for
the
sake
of
the
song
Her
name
was
Stella
