Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

4 AM in the morning

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

I watched your vision forming

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

[Verse 6]

Stars roll slowly 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

[Chorus]

I stay

I pray

See you in heaven far away

I stay

I pray

See you in heaven, one day

[Bridge]

Far away on the other side

[Outro]

Caught in the middle of 105

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
