Moonlight Shadow (BBC TV "Top of the Pops" 1983) Songtext
von 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 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 a.m. 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 with 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


Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side
But she couldn't find how to push through
