Moonlight Shadow Lyrics

The last that ever she saw him,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

He passed on worried and warning,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Lost in a riddle that Saturday night,

Far away on the other side.

He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight

And she couldn't find how to push through.


The trees that whisper in the evening,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Sing a song of sorrow and grieving,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,

Far away on the other side.

He was shot six times by a man on the run

And she couldn't find how to push through.


[ Chorus ] 

I stay, I pray

See you in heaven far away.

I stay, I pray

See you in heaven one day.


Four a.m. in the morning,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

I watched your vision forming,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Stars roll slowly in a silvery night,

Far away on the other side.

Will you come to terms with me this night,

But she couldn't find how to push through.


[ Repeat Chorus ] 

Far away on the other side.


Caught in the middle of a hundred and five.

The night was heavy and the air was alive,

But she couldn't find how to push through.


Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Far away on the other side.

But she couldn't find how to push through.
