TURN TO STONE

E F# F#m
The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON'T SHINE NO MORE
Am B
and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING
E F# F#m
A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT
Am B E
of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD

C#m G#m F#m F#m G#m A B
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
C#m G#m F#m F#m G#m A B E
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 BURNING BURNING BURNING
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 you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.

C
Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
F
Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?
D
You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on,
F
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 some day TO 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.

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.

The singer's world has lost all meaning without his lover. He's simply waiting until the day she comes back.

It's 1982, and I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons over at my friend Leon's house. My character got petrified (turned to stone) by a basilisk. Although the effect got reversed, I spent a good chunk of the game unable to do anything, so it was a frustrating evening. As I got into my car to drive home at the end of the night, this song (of course!) was on the radio...

haha, Kenobi. Nice tie-in with the song, didn't see it at first. This should be the theme song for D&D players who get petrified. They play it whenever they get petrified and pester the other players by playing it over and over again.
