The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down lowA sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go onThe dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades 'till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright (turning, turning)The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
In my blue worldI turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go onTurn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stoneYes, I'm turnin' to stone
'Cause you ain't coming 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 turnin', I'm turnin'
I'm turnin' to stoneThe dancing 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)
You will return again some day
To my blue worldI turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go onI turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stoneI turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go onI turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
