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 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.

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

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

Its kind of obvious about what this song is about.

Its like story..

A couple walking late at night

They get jumped, the guy and the boyfriend fight. She stands back watching not being able to do anything. The guy pulls out a gun and shoots him.

To username: I doubt it's about that, seeing as it says it's 4 am..

they didn't 'get jumped', he inadvertantly got caught in someone else's fight, and she probably wasn't even close enough to do anything, considering all she saw was the gun from "far away"...
