Mike Oldfield - 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.

Refrein:

I stay, I pray

See you in heaven far away

I stay, I pray

See you in heaven for one day.

It's 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.

Refrein.

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 (2x)

Far away on the other side.

But she couldn't find how to push through.
