Lyrics of Turn to Stone by Electric Light Orchestra

verse

The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low
(Turning, turning, turning)

verse

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

verse

The dying embers of the night
(A fire that slowly fades 'til dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright
(Turning, turning, turning)

verse

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

bridge

Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cause you ain't comin' home
Why you ain't 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

verse

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

verse

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

chorus

Turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone

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

outro

Turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
Writer(s): Jeff Lynne
