Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
4 AM in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
[Verse 6]
Stars roll slowly in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me, this night?
But 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
[Bridge]
Far away on the other side
[Outro]
Caught in the middle of 105
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
