Moonlight Shadow
Groove Coverage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 the riddle 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.

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

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Moonlight Shadow" by German Eurodance band Groove Coverage is a cover of the original hit song by Mike Oldfield. The lyrics tell the story of a woman who has lost her lover, who was taken away by a "moonlight shadow." The imagery of the moonlight shadow sets an eerie tone and creates a sense of mystery surrounding the singer's circumstances.


The woman is unable to push through her grief and find closure because her lover was caught in the middle of a desperate fight and shot by a man on the run. The trees whispering in the evening symbolize mourning and grief, emphasizing the depth of the singer's loss. The chorus "Carried away by a moonlight shadow" is a metaphor for how the woman's lover was taken from her life in a sudden and unexpected way.


The final verse is the singer speaking to her lover, expressing her hope that she will one day see him in heaven. The song is a powerful meditation on the theme of loss and the difficulty of letting go of someone we love.


Line by Line Meaning

The last that ever she saw him
The last time she saw him alive


Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He departed mysteriously, possibly due to death


He passed on worried and warning
He left with anxiety and apprehension


Lost in the riddle last Saturday night
He was perplexed and uncertain on a recent Saturday evening


Far away on the other side
He was distant, maybe in another world or dimension


He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
He was caught up in a fierce battle of some sort


And she couldn't find how to push through.
She was unable to overcome the difficulties in reaching him


The trees that whisper in the evening
The trees that make gentle sounds at night


Sing the song of sorrow and grieving
Produce sounds of grief and mourning


All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
The only thing she could make out was the shape of a gun


He was shot six times by a man on the run
He was hit with six bullets fired by a fleeing individual


Four A.M. In the morning
At 4 AM


I watched your vision forming
I saw an image of you taking shape in my mind


Star was glowin' in a silvery night
A star was shining in a silver-colored night


Will you come to talk to me this night
Will you visit me tonight to converse?


But she couldn't find how to push through
She still couldn't find a means to break through to him


I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away
I remain and pray that I'll someday reunite with you in paradise


I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day
I remain and pray that I'll one day see you in heaven

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.

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 A.M. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Stars roll 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 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
