Intro:
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
I see you in heaven far away
I stay I pray
I 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 move slowly in a silvery light
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
I see you in heaven far away
I stay I pray
I see you in heaven one day
Solo:
Far away on the other side
Solo:
Caught in the middle
of a hundred and five
Bridge:
Bridge:
The night was heavy
but the air was alive
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
Bridge:
Ending:
