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 needing something
From each other
Not knowing yet what
That might be
'Til 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 recognise
She had a need
To feel the thunder
To chase the lightning
From the sky
To watch a storm
With all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride
The heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only
Dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night
That summer wind
Was all around me
Nothing between us
But the night
When I told her
That I'd never
She softly whispered
That's all right
And then I watched
Her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never
Been a 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 a storm
With all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the
Heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now 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 every time
I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing
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 lightning
From the sky
To watch a storm
With all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the
Heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only
Dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night
Rushing in long in the wind
Now where only
Dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night
