By a moonlight shadow (moonlight shadow

Moonlight shadow, take me home
Oh baby, you know that we were meant to be
This love will last for eternity
'Cause you're my destiny, and though we're worlds apart
You always keep me in your heart, right?
Don't cry, baby, don't be sad (don't be sad)
We'll be happy, just won't forget
Angels calling, gotta go, oh
Moonlight shadow, take me home (take me home

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 river last 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

Wind it up, wind it up

I stay, I pray
I see you in heaven far away (yeah yeah)
I stay, I pray
I see you in heaven one day (oh)

Four a.m. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
The star was glowing in the 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

Uh
By a moonlight shadow
Come on
Empyre One
Listen up, y'all
Oh
One day
Alright
Yeah yeah

Moonlight shadow, take me home
By a moonlight shadow

Empyre One
Yeah, let's go

I'm sorry girl, for the pain I've caused
I'm sorry girl, for the faith you've lost
Don't worry girl, it'll be alright
I'ma wait for you on the other side, oh
But you know that my love is true
And I keep keep missing missing you
Heaven's calling, gotta go, oh
Moonlight shadow, take me home

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sang 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

Wind it up, wind it up

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

One day Let's go
One day Don't cry, baby, don't be sad
We'll be happy, just won't forget
Angels calling, gotta go
Moonlight shadow, take me home, oh

By a moonlight shadow

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sang a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow

Moonlight shadow
