[Originally by Mike Oldfield]
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.
Star was light 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.
