That Summer (Live)

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 'Til 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 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 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
