The night that music saved my life
Words and music: Jochen Vierthaler
It was a sleepless night
there was emptiness so deep inside
when I heard a voice that came from you and me
Then someone grand from foreign land
seemed to take me by the hand
and told me the truth is plain to see
He said: „Come on over
Won´t you try to see find the light?“
So I closed my eyes and turned it up
and sang with all my might:
Eight miles high and starry eyed
laughing with delight
with the echoes of the amplifiers
ringing through the night
There´s a new song on the radio
that gets me in my stride
Hey tonight ́s the night that music saved my life
Now many years have since been gone
and moss grew fat on a rolling stone
but hey, that ́s the way it used to be
She passed by and my oh my
and long as I can see the light
she reminded me the truth is plain to see
She said: „Come on over
Won´t you try to find the light?“
So we closed our eyes and turned it on
and sang with all our might:
Eight miles high and starry eyed
laughing with delight
there ́s a new song on the radio
I sing with all my might
It goes na na na na na na na
There´s a new song on the radio
I sing with all my might
Hey tonight´s the night that music saved my life
