Turn to Stone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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)
[Chorus]
I turn to stone, when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on
[Verse 2]
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cause you ain't comin' 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
[Verse 3]
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)
[Chorus]
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
It’s Over Lyrics
[Instrumental Prelude]
[Intro]
It's over, it's over, it's over
[Verse 1]
Summer came and passed away
Hardly seemed to last a day
But it's over, and what can I do?
Music playing in the air
Silence on a darkened stair
'Cause it's over, and what can I do?
[Chorus]
It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down (It's over)
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of
Feeling down, down (It's all over)
Feeling down, down, down
[Bridge]
Baby, baby
It's all gone
Rolled out to sea
[Verse 2]
Looking over sunny days (Searching, searching)
Searching for the righteous wave
'Cause it's over (All gone, what can I do?)
Looking from this distant shore (Distant shore)
You ain't sailing by no more
'Cause it's over (It is over)
And what can I do?
[Chorus]
It's over, it's over, all over, it's all over now
And the way you looked
Don't even mean I'm down
It's over, over (It's over)
When you kick out the sea
And the sun says goodbye
There is nothing much to speak of
Feeling down, down (It's over)
Feeling down, down, down
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Alt. Chorus]
Ah, it's over, it's over, it's over
It's all over, and what can I do?
Ah, it's over, it's over
It's all over
[Outro]
Oh, it's over, it's over
Don't shed a tear for me, it's over
Don't shed a tear
Although it's over
Across the Border Lyrics
[Intro]
I've been workin' so hard, baby
Tryin' to get to you
I'm gonna be there soon because
[Verse 1]
In the heat of the day many miles away
When the sun is beating down upon the main street
I'll be waiting here at the station
I gotta move down the line
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done
You know I got to make the deadline
[Chorus]
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh
If I don't get to the border then I'll write
[Verse 2]
The Mardi Gras will be blowing strong
And the people dancing all across the city
I'm leaving here tonight
I gotta move down the line
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five
I'm gonna ride the rails until we reach the morning
Maybe three or four hundred miles
[Chorus]
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh
If I don't get to the border then I'll write
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
When the wind is blowing softly
Through the streets of a little town and the music's playin'
You're waiting somewhere over the horizon
[Chorus]
I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh
If I don't get to the border then I'll write
[Outro]
You know I'm comin', baby, Ooh-ooh-ah
You know I'm comin', baby, Ooh-ooh-ah
Ooh-ooh-ah
Ooh-ooh-ah
Night in the City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standin' at the airport, lookin' down the strip
She was dryin' her eyes, she was bitin' her lip
Seven-four-seven
Just left from gate eleven
And there's no turning 'round
'Cause it's just leaving the ground
And gettin' higher (Higher)
[Verse 2]
Standing at the dockside, looking out to sea
When I saw her, but she did not see me
There she stood with no hope
Because she'd miss-ed the boat
And as her dreams sailed away
She headed back for the day
Back to the city (City)
[Chorus]
Night in the city, oh-oh-oh
Madness at midnight
Night in the city
Driving you insane
[Verse 3]
(In the city)
Ooh-la-la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la-la-la-la
In the city (City)
[Chorus]
Night in the city, oh-oh-oh
Madness at midnight
Night in the city
Driving you insane
[Verse 4]
I was running kinda lonely at the city place
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face
Crazy ladies that wait
And slide around like a snake
I just can't take anymore
I'm going in through the door
Into the city (City)
[Bridge]
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
I'll get you, yes, I'm gonna get you
Driving you insane
[Chorus]
Night in the city, oh-oh-oh
Madness at midnight
Night in the city
Driving you insane
[Outro]
Driving you insane
Driving you insane
Believe Me Now Lyrics
[Verse]
(Can you hear me?)
(I love you)
[Chorus]
Believe me now
I could never say goodbye
Don't leave me now
Believe me now
