Moonlight Shadow By Maggie Reilly

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, 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,

Four a.m. in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadow, I watched your vision forming, carried away by a moonlight shadow,


he was caught in the middle of a desperate fight,

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.

It is said that this song first came out originally in 1983 to commemorate the Beatles (The Beatles) was shot dead singer John Lennon (John Lennon) . December 8, 1980, Mark Chapman disguised as a fan, wander at the Lennon's apartment for a long time. That night, when Lennon returned home from the studio he want Wanted Lennon's autograph . At that time his heart had been a fierce struggle, but in the end he still raised the pistol toward the back of Lennon fired five shots. And it is similar as the written in Moonlight Shadow He was shot six times by a mardon Oldfield (born 15 May 1953) is

He is best known for his 1973 album Tubular Bells – which launched Virgin Records and became a hit after its opening was used as the theme for the film The Exorcist – and for his 1983 hit single "Moonlight Shadow".
Stars moving in 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. Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through Far away on the other side. The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through she couldn't find how to push through how to push through....

But after reading the original MTV, this song should have no direct contact with the John Lennon's assassination , it seems that the actor died in a duel, which is the inverted image of Pushkin, but do not know Pushkin's wife Natalie will not so to miss him.
