The city streets are empty now 
(The lights don't shine no more) 
And so the songs are way down low 
(Turning, turning, turning) 
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 
Turn to stone 
When [bad word]  home 
I can't go on 

The dying embers of the night 
(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) 

I turn to stone 
When you are gone 
I turn to stone 
Turn to stone 
When [bad word]  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 [bad word]  home 
Why you [bad word]  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 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 someday 
(To my blue world) 

I turn to stone 
When you are gone 
I turn to stone 
Turn to stone 
When [bad word]  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 
Turn to stone 
When [bad word]  home 
I can't go on 
Turn to stone 
When you are gone 
I turn to stone
