Turn To Stone Lyrics - Essential Electric Light Orchestra - E.l.o.

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 echos 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 you 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 

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 

. . . 

Turn to stone 

When you're 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 

(l turn to stone I turn to stone) 

you will return again some day 

To my blue world 

I turn to stone 

. . . 

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 you comin' home 

I can't go on turn to stone 

When your are gone I turn to stone.
