1
there was a barn owl trapped in the rafters
2
the ground underneath us was wet and cold
3
we heard the owl thrashing about
4
trying desparately to get out
5
we stood outside and watched the night unfold
6
we watched the sun go down on scotland
7
and i watched the moon come up over you
8
when a pack of dogs went silently past us
9
we knew we'd been given fair warning
10
but that was the only thing we knew
11
and you threw all your luggage out onto the water
12
and i tore the shirt away from my back
13
the cold came on with a new found intensity
14
and you pressed your warm body against me
15
and i loved you so much it was making me sick
16
and we watched the sun go down on scotland
17
we were glad that we'd left oklahoma behind
18
i took your hips in my hands and i threw you down
19
to the new found rich brown deep wet ground
20
had a vision of you burning on my mind
21
we watched the sun go down on scotland
22
and i watched the moon come up over you
23
when a pack of dogs went silently past us
24
we knew we'd been given fair warning
25
but that was the only thing we knew
the mountain goats - no children
