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
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

I was very impressed with the TRICK step patterns during the simultaneous "shadow shadow" parts.
