8. That summer

Intro :  D   E

Verse:
                            A
I went to work for her that summer
                          Fism
A teenage kid so far from home
                        D
She was a lonenly widow woman
                             E 
Hell bent to  make it on her own
                              A
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
                               Fism
Wheat fields as far as I could see
                                 D
Both needin' somethin' from each other
E                               A
Not knowin' yet what that might be

Verse:
'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

Chorus:
                            E        D
She had a need to feel the thunder
                                A    
To chase the lightnin' from the skies
                                D
To watch the storm with all its wonder
                      E  
Raging in her lover's eyes
                            Fism      E   
She had to ride the heat of passion
D                    A
Like a comet burnin' bright
                         D
Rushing head long in the wind
                          E
Out where only dreams had been
                         A
Burnin' both ends of the night

Verse:    
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

Repeat Chorus:

Solo:
    
Verse:
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
Watch it dancin' with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again

Repeat Chorus:

Rushing head long in the wind
Out where only dreams had been
Burnin' both ends of the night
