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 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
Lightnin'
From the sky
To watch a storm
With all it's
Wonder
Raging in her
Lover's eyes
She had to ride
The heat of
Passion
Like a comet
Burnin' bright
Rushing head long
In the wind
Out where only
Dreams had been
Burnin' both ends
Of the night
That summer
Wind was
All around me
Nothin' between us
But the night
When I told her
That I 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 the
Storm with all
It's wonder
Raging in each
Others' eyes
We had to ride
The heat of
Passion
Like a comet
Burnin' bright
Rushing head
Long in the wind
Out where only
Dreams had 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 it's
Wonder
Raging in her
Lover's eyes
She had to ride
The heat of
Passion
Like a comet
Burnin' bright
Rushing head long
In the wind
Out where only
Dreams had been
Burnin' both ends
Of the night
Rushing head long
In the wind
Out where only
Dreams had been
Burnin' both
Ends of the night..
