there was a barn owl trapped in the rafters the ground underneath us was wet and cold we d heard the owl thrashing about trying desperately 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 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
