Juliane Werding did a German cover version of it, "Nacht voll Schatten".

It was his sister, Sally. She sang on some of his songs eg Mirrors. I have to say that so far as I know Mike Oldfield and Cat Stevens NEVER WORKED TOGETHER. Just that the latter had a completely different song called Moonshadow - and he is definitely male not female!

Two versions were released. One with Sally Oldfield singing (Mike's sister) and another which was the more successful with Maggie Reilly doing the vocals. Both sound very similar though

Maggie Reilly sang on this. She has appeared on several of Oldfield's albums.

Hi. Answer to your question is Maggie Reilly
Moonlight Shadow
music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield
sung by Maggie Reilly
Last revised: 24 April 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
[ Chorus ]
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.
Stars roll slowly in a silvery night,
Far away on the other side.
Will you come to terms with me this night,
But she couldn't find how to push through.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
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.
But she couldn't find how to push through.

Maggie Reilly was the singer.
Website suggests it was a tribute to John Lennon.
