(N.C) A
I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from homeF#m
She was a lonely widowedD woman
Hellbent to make it on her Eown Esus
We were a thousand miles from Anowhere Asus
Wheat fields as far as I could F#msee
Both needin' somethin' from eachDother Dsus
ENot knowing yet what that might Abe Asus A

verse II
'Till she came to me one Aevening
Hot cup of coffee and a F#msmile
In a dress that I was Dcertain
She hadn't worn in quite a Ewhile
There was a difference in her lauAghter
There was a softness in her eyeF#ms
And on the air there was aD hunger
EEven a boy could recogAnize
chorus
She had a need to feel the EthunderD
To chase the lightning from the Askies
To watch a storm in all it's Dwonder
Ragin' in her lovers Eeyes
She had to ride the heat of F#mpassion E D
Like a comet burnin' Abright
Rushing head-long in the winDd
Out where only dreams have Ebeen
Burnin' both ends of the niAght D A
verse III
The summer wind was all around us
Nothin' between us but the night
And when I told her that I never
She softly whispered, "That's alright"
And then I watched her hands of leather

I often think about that summer
The sweat the moonlight and the lace
Har.

And I've rarely held another

Every time I pass a wheatfield
