φεγγαροαχτίδα.html Artist: Mike Oldfield Featuring artist: Maggie Reilly Album: Crises (1983) Song: Moonlight Shadow The song was written under the impression of the film Houdini The song refers to some medium and spiritual practices, such as a crystal ball, through which the girl sees the events but can’t prevent them. The expression “to push through“ refers to the practices of getting in contact with somebody’s soul or phantom. Moonlight Shadow The last that she ever saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow Lost in a river 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, far away I stay I pray See you in heaven one day 4 AM in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Stars move slowly in a silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to talk to me tonight? But she couldn’t find how to push through I stay I pray See you in heaven, far away I stay I pray See you in heaven one day Far away on the other side Caught in the middle of a hundred and five1 The night was heavy, but the air was alive But 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 Copyright: Writer(s): Michael Gordon Oldfield
