Turn to Stone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was young there was an ancient lady Who lived across the holler from my home Us kids all thought she was a witching lady Believed her gaze could turn us into stone She had a statue of a girl in her garden Looked like one that went missing long ago At least that's the story we all believed Can't be too careful, you don't ever know [Chorus 1] Turn to stone, turn to stone We believed she could turn us into stone Turn to stone, turn to stone We believed she could turn us into stone [Verse 2] When I grew up I met a sweet young someone Who someday I hope to make my own I stumbled and stuttered when I talked to her As though her glances turned me into stone [Chorus 1] Turn to stone, turn to stone It was like that girl could turn me into stone Turn to stone, turn to stone It was like that girl could turn me into stone [Chorus 2] The first time I saw her I was struck dumb The second time I saw her I went numb The third time I saw her she was all alone I couldn't make a move 'cause I was turned to stone [Instrumental Break] [Chorus 2] The first time I saw her I was struck dumb The second time I saw her I went numb The third time I saw her she was all alone I couldn't make a move 'cause I was turned to stone [Verse 3] I went and asked my best friend would he speak for me? He said no, I'd have to do it on my own But recommended something that might work for me Why don't you call her on a telephone? When she said "hello", I said "goodbye" and hung up I guess some things were never meant to be From both my thumbs I'd rather just be strung up Than be tongue-tied every time she looks at me [Chorus 1] I turn to stone, turn to stone It was like that girl could turn me into stone Turn to stone, turn to stone It was like she could turn me into stone [Chorus 3] Turn to stone, turn to stone It was like that girl could turn me into stone Turn to stone, turn to stone It was like she could turn me into stone It was like she could turn me into stone It was like she could turn me into stone It was like she could turn me into stone
