Going To Scotland
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 Aus Songtexte Mania
