Mike Oldfield - Moonlight Shadow
Enjoy! :D//YeiPower
Lyrics:
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
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
Four AM in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was light 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.
Four AM in the morning...
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away.
I stay, I pray, I 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 but the air was alive
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.

My gym teacher used to play this in class to 'motivate' us. Everyone else in my class hated it and called me lame for liking such an 'old sounding' song. But I adore it and I'm proud. :) It's probably the only thing my gym teacher ever taught me...

This was my Dad's best friend's favourite ever song, he had a cassette which was made entirely of this song on repeat, on both sides. The poor guy died in the early 2000s. I barely knew him but I always think of him and the ultimate old-school bromance he & my Dad had whenever I hear this song.

Brilliant song, I love the guitar and drums. Maggie was my favourite Mike Oldfield's vocalists with songs such as this and To France, Crystal Ball and a few others. I remember hearing this song when I was about 9 or 10 and thought I was being transported into another distant world. I still get that vague feeling now listening to it.

'Man in the Rain' was actually written shortly after Moonlight Shadow in 1983, but wasn't recorded until Oldfield was working on the TB3 album. When it was eventually produced, it sampled drum sections from Moonlight Shadow, which is why they sound so similar.

Very intelligent songwriting and dito instrument handling. Can't say I like Mr Oldfield as a person, but it must be given to him, that he wrote one of the 20'th century classics with this piece, which is rather easy to tell now, but was almost impossible to predict at the time. Love and respect, Mike!
