That Summer
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 thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields, as far as I could see
Both needin' somethin', from each other
Not knowin' yet, what that might be
Till, she came to me, one evenin'
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 lightnin', from the sky
To watch a storm, with all its wonder
Ragin' in her lover's eyes
She had to ride, the heat of passion
Like a comet, burnin' bright
Rushin' headlong, in the wind
Out where only dreams, have been
Burnin' both ends, of the night
That summer wind, was all around me
Nothin' 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 lightnin', from the sky
To watch a storm, with all its wonder
Ragin' in each other's eyes
We had to ride, the heat of passion
Like a comet, burnin' bright
Rushin' headlong, in the wind
Out where only dreams, have been
Burnin' 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 every time, I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancin', with 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
To chase the lightnin', from the sky
To watch a storm, with all its wonder
Ragin' in her lover's eyes
She had to ride, the heat of passion
Like a comet, burnin' bright
Rushin' headlong, in the wind
Out where only dreams, have been
Burnin' both ends, of the night
Rushin' headlong, in the wind
Out where only dreams, have been
Burnin' both ends, of the night
A teenage kid, so far from home
She was a lonely, widow woman
Hell-bent to make it, on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields, as far as I could see
Both needin' somethin', from each other
Not knowin' yet, what that might be
Till, she came to me, one evenin'
Hot cup of coffee, and a smile

There was a softness, in her eyes
And on the air, there was a hunger

She had a need, to feel the thunder
To chase the lightnin', from the sky
To watch a storm, with all its wonder

Rushin' headlong, in the wind
Out where only dreams, have been
Burnin' both ends, of the night
