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 everything that is alive
In my blue world

[Chorus]
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
-A fire that slowly fades till dawn

Still glow upon the wall so bright
-Turning, turning, turning
The tired streets that hide 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

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 turnin' to stone
'Cause 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 turnin', I'm turnin'
I'm turnin' to stone
The dancing shadows on the wall
-The two-step in the hall

Are all I've seen 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 someday
To my blue world

[Chorus]
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

[Outro Chorus]
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
