Jeff Lynne's ELO Radio 2 In Concert

APPLAUSE

# 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 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 you coming 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

# 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 you coming home?

# I can't go on

# Turn to stone

# When you are gone

# I turn to stone

# Yes, I'm turning to stone cos you ain't coming home

# Why you ain't coming 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

# 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 you coming 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 coming home?

# I can't go on

# Turn to stone

# When you are gone

# I turn to stone. #

CHEERING

# Pack up all your things

# About the rain

# I'm steppin' out

# I'm moving on

# I'm gonna see the world

# Like a rolling stone

# I'm steppin' out

# I'm gonna be somebody

# Ooh, I'm steppin' out

# Did you hear what he said?

# He said they sold me down the river

# They thought I, thought I was a fool

# They said the rain would fall

# What did they know?

# Then I saw your face

# Heard the song that you were singing

# Though I thought I knew the words

# The tune was quite absurd and out of key

# Doo-dah-dah-dee

# I'm steppin' out

# I'm moving on

# I'm gonna see the world

# Like a rolling stone

# Steppin' out

# I'm gonna be somebody
