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 sillhouette 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
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,
and she couldn't find how to push through.
