Moonlight Shadow
Vox Angeli 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 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.
