Verse 1

The last that ever she saw him, carried away by a moonlight shadown,
He passed on worried and warning, carried away by a moonlight shadown,
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

Verse 2

The trees that whisper in the evening, carried away by a moonlight shadown,
Sing the song of sorrow and grieving, carried away by a moonlight shadown,
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

Verse 3

Four am in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadown,
I watched your vision forming, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Star was glowin' 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

Bridge:

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