[00:01.507] |
I went to work for her that summer |
[00:15.779] |
A teenage kid so far from home |
[00:19.454] |
She was a lonely widow woman |
[00:23.770] |
Hell-bent to make it on her own |
[00:28.110] |
We were a thousand miles from nowhere |
[00:32.333] |
Wheat fields as far as I could see |
[00:36.622] |
Both needing something from each other |
[00:40.961] |
Not knowing yet what that might be. |
[00:45.402] |
'Til she came to me one evening |
[00:49.490] |
Hot cup of coffee and a smile |
[00:54.152] |
In a dress that I was certain |
[00:58.84] |
She hadn't worn in quite a while |
[01:02.218] |
There was a difference in her laughter |
[01:06.406] |
There was a softness in her eyes |
[01:10.798] |
And on the air there was a hunger |
[01:15.186] |
Even a boy could recognize. |
[01:19.22] |
She had a need to feel the thunder |
[01:23.206] |
To chase the lightning from the sky |
[01:27.494] |
To watch a storm with all its wonder |
[01:31.851] |
Raging in her lover's eyes |
[01:35.887] |
She had to ride the heat of passion |
[01:40.279] |
Like a comet burning bright |
[01:44.796] |
Rushing headlong in the wind |
[01:46.208] |
Out where only dreams have been |
[01:46.415] |
Burning both ends of the night. |
[01:52.923] |
That summer wind was all around me |
[01:57.59] |
Nothing between us but the night |
[02:01.495] |
When I told her that I'd never |
[02:05.779] |
She softly whispered that's alright |
[02:09.975] |
And then I watched her hands of leather |
[02:14.519] |
Turn to velvet in a touch |
[02:18.555] |
There's never been another summer |
[02:22.795] |
When I have ever learned so much. |
[02:27.179] |
we had a need to feel the thunder |
[02:31.59] |
To chase the lightning from the sky |
[02:35.295] |
To watch a storm with all its wonder |
[02:39.621] |
Raging in each other's eyes |
[02:43.763] |
We had to ride the heat of passion |
[02:48.49] |
Like a comet burning bright |
[02:52.234] |
Rushing headlong in the wind |
[02:55.162] |
Out where only dreams have been |
[02:55.698] |
Burning both ends of the night. |
[03:13.509] |
I often think about that summer |
[03:17.502] |
The sweat,the moonlight,and the lace |
[03:21.739] |
And I have rarely held another |
[03:25.875] |
When I haven't seen her face |
[03:30.209] |
And every time I pass a wheat field |
[03:34.701] |
And watch it dancing with the wind |
[03:38.637] |
Although I know it isn't real |
[03:40.492] |
I just can't help but feel |
[03:43.57] |
Her hungry arms again |
[03:46.793] |
She had a need to feel the thunder |
[03:50.881] |
To chase the lightning from the sky |
[03:55.133] |
To watch a storm with all its wonder |
[03:59.569] |
Raging in her lover's eyes |
[04:03.505] |
She had to ride the heat of passion |
[04:07.745] |
Like a comet burning bright |
[04:11.902] |
Rushing headlong in the wind |
[04:14.574] |
Out where only dreams have been |
[04:16.90] |
Burning both ends of the night. |
[04:20.476] |
Rushing headlong in the wind |
[04:22.650] |
Now where only dreams have been |
[04:24.269] |
Burnin'both ends of the night |
