buongiorno:

There was a barn owl trapped in the rafters 
The ground underneath us was wet and cold 
We heard the owl thrashing about 
Trying desparately to get out 
We stood outside and watched the night unfold 

We watched the sun go down on scotland 
and I watched the moon come up over you 
When a pack of dogs went silently past us 
We knew we’d been given fair warning 
But that was the only thing we knew 

and you threw all your luggage out onto the water 
and I tore the shirt away from my back 
The cold came on with a new found intensity 
And you pressed your warm body against me 
and I loved you so much it was making me sick 

and we watched the sun go down on scotland 
We were glad that we’d left oklahoma behind 
I took your hips in my hands and I threw you down 
To the new found rich brown deep wet ground 
Had a vision of you burning on my mind 

We watched the sun go down on scotland 
and I watched the moon come up over you 
When a pack of dogs went silently past us 
We knew we’d been given fair warning 
But that was the only thing we knew
