I went to work for her that summer
Teenage kids so far from home
She was a lonely widowwoman
Hell bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
We'd feel just as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be
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
On the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize
She had a need to feel the thunder
And chase the lightning from the sky
Watch a storm with all it's wonder
Raging in her lovers eyes
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
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 alright
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in her touch
There's never been another summer
When I have ever learned so much
We had a need to feel the thunder
Chase the lightning from the sky
Watch the storm with all its wonder
Raging in each other's eyes
We 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
Often think about that summer sweat
The moonlight in the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
Every time I pass her we feel
Watch you 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
Chase the lightning from the sky
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 burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been burning
Both ends of the night
Rushing headlong in the wind
Out where only dreams have been burning
Both ends of the night
