This was the normal morning
And the time was passing by
We woke up, the day was stormy
And we heard the children cry
Was it the 1st November
Or another Summer day?
There is no point to differ -
It was the day the music died
We went each other to their chores
And looked through the steamed window glass
Whether in office or a homesick shore
The tears poured out alas
Was it the 1st November
Or another Summer day?
There is no point to differ -
It was the day the music died
And then there came a madman
With a scary gun of steel
He told us to go out before the tent
And made us all watch and feel
There was a great parade
Of sons of darkness, sons of light
They came back from their empty-heart crusade
Announcing that the music died
Was it the 1st November
Or another Summer day?
There is no point to differ -
It was the day the music died
