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'rything that is alive in my blue world



I turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone,turn to stone

When you comin' home

I can't go on



The dying embers of the night

(Are fire that slowly fades to dawn)

Still glow upon the wall so bright

Burning,burning,burning

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 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

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

Turn to stone when you are gone

I turn to stone
