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 am 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,
And she couldn't find how to push through

CHORUS
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
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
