I went to work for her that summer
                          
A teenage kid so far from home
                       
She was a lonely widow woman
                                  
Hell bent to make it on her own

                                     
We were a thousands miles from nowhere
                               
Wheat fields as far as I could see
                                     Dus2   
Both needing something from eachother
                                
Not knowing yet what that might be

Till she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while

There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize

                                     
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                         
To chase the lightning from the sky
                                          
To watch the storm and all it's wonders
                            
Raging in her lovers eyes
                                     
She had to ride the heat of passion
                             
Like a comet burning bright
                        
Rushing headlong in the wind
                      
Out where only dreams have been
                         
Burning both ends of the night


That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
And when I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright

And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been another summer
When I have ever learned so much

We had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch the storm and all it's wonders
Raging in eachothers eyes
We had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

        

I often think about that summer
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face

And everytime I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing in the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again

She had a need to feel the thunder...

Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night
