Turn To Stone

Electric Light Orchestra

The city streets are empty now 
The lights don't shine no more
And so the songs are way down low 
Turning, turning, turning 
A sound that flows into my mind 
The echoes of the daylight
Of ev'ryting that is alive in my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you're comin' home, I can't go on

The dying embers of the night 
A fire that slowly fades to dawn 
Still glow upon the wall so bright 
Turning, turning, turning 
The tired streets that hide away 
From here to ev'rywhere they go 
Roll past my door into the day in my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you're comin' home, I can't go on 
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone 

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

The dancing shadows on the wall 
The two step in the hall 
Are all I see since you've been gone 
Turning, 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 world

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone
Turn to stone when you're 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 ....
