Moonlight Shadow

(Mike Oldfield)



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 a.m. 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.



(Guitare solo)



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.

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.
