[Verse 1]

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.

[Verse 2]

The trees that whisper in the evening, carried away by a moonlight shadow,

Sing the 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.

[Bridge:]

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

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

[Verse 3]

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 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.
