Italobrothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
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

The last that ever she saw him
The very last time she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He disappeared under the cover of darkness
He passed on worried and warning
He left with concern and caution
Lost in a river last saturday night
He drowned in a river on a Saturday night
Far away on the other side
In a distant place across the river
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
He was involved in a violent altercation
And she couldn't find how to push through
She couldn't find a way to overcome her grief
The trees that whisper in the evening
The leafy trees that rustle in the night
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Their sounds create a mournful tune
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
She only witnessed the outline of a weapon
He was shot six times by a man on the run
He was fatally wounded in a shooting incident

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
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
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
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

There is a reason this song has been covered so many times and kept alive: it's a good song.
@1592ultimaweapon
Agreed
@SteelWolf13
Good song but it about a murder and a grieving lady who either could not get to him in time or could not find the nerve to help out (cowering in a corner and watched him through a window etc.)
