Mike Oldfield, Moonlight Shadow (1983)

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 terms 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 but the air was alive
but she couldn't find how to push through)

(x 3: I stay, I pray, see you in heaven far away, I stay, I pray, see you in heaven one day)

The last time ever she'd seen him
carried away by a moonlight shadow
the crowd gathered just to leave him
carried away by a moonlight shadow
caught in the middle of a hundred and five
far away on the other side
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)

(Virgin, 1983)
