Libertines - The Delaney 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.

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

And she couldn't find how to push through

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.

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.
