That Summer

1. 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,
-
both needing something from eachother,

not knowing yet what that might be.

2. 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.
-D-
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.

3. 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.

+ REFRAIN (We ..........eachother ..........we)

4. 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. + REFRAIN

rushing headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been,
- - -
burning both ends of the night.
