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