Moonlight Shadow
Moonlit Tale of Love, Loss, and Shadows
Lyrics
The last that ever she saw him
The last time she saw him.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He was taken away by something mysterious, possibly death.
He passed on worried and warning
He left concerned and cautionary.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Similar to line 2, carried away by an unknown force.
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night
Feeling puzzled or confused on that particular Saturday night.
Far away on the other side
Far away, in a distant place or situation.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
He found himself in the midst of a dire conflict.
And she couldn't find how to push through
She struggled to find a way to overcome the situation.
The trees that whisper in the evening
The trees echoed in the quiet of the evening.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Similar to lines 2 and 4, taken away mysteriously.
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Singing a sad song of mourning and sadness.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Again, carried away by an unknown force.
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
She only saw the outline of a gun, possibly during the incident.
Far away on the other side
Similar to line 6, far away in a distant place.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
He was shot multiple times by a fleeing person.
And she couldn't find how to push through
She struggled to find a solution or a way to cope.
I stay, I pray
Expressing a commitment to wait and hope.
See you in heaven far away
Anticipation of meeting in the afterlife.
I stay, I pray
Reiteration of the commitment to wait and hope.
See you in heaven one day
Hope to reunite in heaven someday.
Four A.M. in the morning
An early morning hour, possibly symbolic of a time of reflection.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Similar to lines 2, 4, and 11, taken away by an unknown force.
I watched your vision forming
Observing or witnessing an apparition or a vision.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Again, taken away by an unknown force.
Stars roll slowly in a silvery night
The stars moved slowly in the sky on the distant side.
Far away on the other side
Similar to lines 6 and 15, far away in a distant place.
Will you come to terms with me this night
Asking if understanding or resolution will come this night.
But she couldn't find how to push through
She struggled to find a resolution or understanding.
I stay, I pray
Expressing the commitment to wait and hope (repeated).
See you in heaven far away
Anticipation of meeting in the afterlife (repeated).
I stay, I pray
Reiteration of the commitment to wait and hope (repeated).
See you in heaven one day
Hope to reunite in heaven someday (repeated).
Far away on the other side
Reiterating being far away in a distant place.
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
Being stuck in a dire situation involving many.
The night was heavy and the air was alive
The night was oppressive, filled with tension and energy.
But she couldn't find how to push through
Struggling to find a way to overcome the situation (repeated).
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Once again, taken away by an unknown force.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Repeated indication of being taken away mysteriously.
Far away on the other side
Similar to lines 6, 15, and 38, far away in a distant place.
But she couldn't find how to push through
Continued struggle to find a solution or way out.
