There was a barn owl trapped in the rafters
A E A A
The ground underneath us was wet and cold
A E
We heard the owl thrashing about
A D
Trying desperately to get out
A E A A
We stood outside and watched the night unfold
A E A A
We watched the sun go down on Scotland
A A E E
and I watched the moon come up over you
A A
When a pack of dogs went silently past us
D D
We knew we'd been given fair warning
A E A A
but that was the only thing we knew
A E A A
And you threw all your luggage out onto the water
A E A A
And I tore the shirt away from my back
A E
The cold came on with a new found in-tensity
A D
And you pressed your warm body against me
A E A A
And I loved you so much it was making me sick
A E A A
And we watched the sun go down on Scotland
A A E E
We were glad that we'd left Oklahoma behind
A A
I took your hips in my hands and I threw you down
D D
To the new found rich brown deep wet ground
A E A A
Had a vision of you burning on my mind
A E A A
We watched the sun go down on Scotland
A A E E
and I watched the moon come up over you
A A
When a pack of dogs went silently past us
D D
We knew we'd been given fair warning
A E A A
but that was the only thing we knew
