lyrics

The city streets are empty now (The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low
A 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
I turn to stone
when you comin' home
I can't go on

The dying embers of a night (A fire that slowly fades 'till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright (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
I 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 coming 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 see since you've been gone (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
I turn to stone
when you comin' home
I can't go on
I 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
I turn to stone
when you are gone
I turn to stone

PRF Monthly Tribute Series image

PRF Monthly Tribute Series Chicago, Illinois

Here's the scoop: A band is picked at the start of the month. Musicians have the full month to record songs by that band, or about that band, or in the style of the band - it's real loose! At the end of the month, we vote for our top three recordings. The winning entry selects the next month's band. Good times and killer recordings since 2014! ... more
