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
[Verse 5]
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven, far away
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven one day
[Verse 6]
Four a.m. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
[Verse 7]
Stars move slowly in the silvery light
Far away on the other side
Will you come to terms with me this night?
But she couldn't find how to push through
[Verse 8]
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven, far away
I stay, I pray
See you in Heaven one day
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
