Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The city streets are empty now

(The lights don't shine no more)

And so the songs are way down low

(Turning, turn it, turn)

[Verse 2]

The sound the flows into my mind

(The echoes of the daylight)

Of everything that is alive

In my blue world

[Verse 3]

I turn to stone, when you were gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home?

I can't go on

[Verse 4]

The dying embers of a night

(A fire that slowly fades till dawn)

Still glow upon the wall so bright

(Turning, turn it, turn)

[Verse 5]

The tired streets that hideaway

(From here to everywhere they go)

Roll past my door into the day

In my blue world

[Verse 6]

I turn to stone, when you were gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home?

I can't go on

[Verse 7]

Turn to stone, when you were gone

I turn to stone

[Verse 8]

(Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'case you ain't comin' home)

(Why ain't you comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?)

(You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on)

(Yes, I'm turning, I'm turning, I'm turning to stone)

[Verse 9]

The dancing shadows on the wall

(The two-step in the hall)

Are all I see since you've been gone

(Turning, turn it, turning)

[Verse 10]

Through all, I sit here and I wait

(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)

You will return again someday

To my blue world

[Verse 11]

I turn to stone, when you were gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home?

I can't go on

[Verse 12]

I turn to stone, when you were gone

I turn to stone

[Verse 13]

I turn to stone, when you were gone

I turn to stone

I turn to stone, when you comin' home?

I can't go on

[Verse 14]

I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone
