Lyrics Mike Oldfield

Mike Oldfield

Moonlight Shadow

1. The last time ever she saw him

carried away by a moonlight shadow

he passed on worries 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.

2. 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 the 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.

R: I stay I pray see you in heaven far away

I stay I pray see you in heaven one day.

3. Four a.m. in the morning

carried away by a moonlight shadow

I watch your vision forming

carried away by a moonlight shadow

the 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.

R:
