Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The city streets are empty now
The lights don't shine no more
And so my song is way down low
Turning, turning
A sound that flows into my mind
The echoes of the daylight
Of everything that's still alive
In my blue world
[Chorus]
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home?
I can't go on
[Instrumental]
The dying embers of the light
A fire that slowly fades 'til dawn
Still glow upon the wall so bright
Turning, turning
The tired streets that lead away
From here to everywhere they go
Roll past my door into the day
In my blue world
[Chorus]
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home?
I can't go on
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
[Bridge]
Yes, I'm turning to stone 'cause you ain't comin' home
Why ain't you comin' home if I'm turning to stone?
You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on
So come running, come running, I'm turning to stone
[Instrumental]
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home?
I can't go on
[Instrumental]
The dying shadows on the wall
The two-step in the hall
Are all I see since you've been gone
Turning, turning
Through all I sit here and I wait
I turn to stone, I turn to stone
Hoping you will return again someday
To my blue world
[Chorus]
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home?
I can't go on
Turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
Hey, turn to stone, turn to stone
