A Long Time Ago Lyrics - Home In Ireland - Irish Rovers

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 far away... 

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 

A star was glowing in the 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 

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 five 

The night was heavy and 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.
