Maggie Reilly With Mike Oldfield Moonlight Shadow Lyrics

Moonlight Shadow Lyrics

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



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 move 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



I stay, I pray, see you in heaven far away

I stay, I pray, see you in heaven one day



Far away on the other side

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

Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Far away on the other side
