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 river last 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 am 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 talk to me this night
But 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

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy but 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
