[Intro]|C |D |C G/B Am[Verse]GI went to work for her that summerEmA teenage kid so far from homeCShe was a lonely widow womanDHell-bent to make it on her ownGWe were a thousand miles from nowhereEmWheat fields as far as I could seeCBoth needing something from each otherD Gsus2 GNot knowing yet what that might be[Verse]G'Til she came to me one eveningEmHot cup of coffee and a smileCIn a dress that I was certainDShe hadn't worn in quite a whileGThere was a difference in her laughterEmThere was a softness in her eyesCAnd on the air there was a hungerD Gsus2 GEven a boy could recognize[Chorus]G D CShe had a need to feel the thunderGTo chase the lightning from the skiesCTo watch a storm with all its wonderDRaging in her lover's eyesEm D CShe had to ride the heat of passionGLike a comet burning brightCRushing headlong in the windDNow where only dreams have beenG Gsus2 GBurning both ends of the night[Verse]GThat summer wind was all around meEmNothing between us but the nightCWhen I told her that I'd neverDShe softly whispered that's alrightGAnd then I watched her hands of leatherEmTurn to velvet in a touchCThere's never been a summerD Gsus2 GWhen I have ever learned so much[Chorus]G D CShe had a need to feel the thunderGTo chase the lightning from the skiesCTo watch a storm with all its wonderDRaging in her lover's eyesEm D CShe had to ride the heat of passionGLike a comet burning brightCRushing headlong in the windDNow where only dreams have beenG Gsus2 GBurning both ends of the night[Solo]C D Gsus2 G[Verse]GI often think about that summerEmThe sweat, the moonlight and the laceCAnd I have rarely held anotherDWhen I haven't seen her faceGAnd every time I pass a wheat fieldEmAnd watch it dancing with the windCAlthough I know it isn't realDI just can't help but feelGsus2 GHer hungry arms again[Chorus]G D CShe had a need to feel the thunderGTo chase the lightning from the skiesCTo watch a storm with all its wonderDWritten in her lover's eyesEm D CShe had to ride the heat of passionGLike a comet burning brightCRushing headlong in the windDNow where only dreams have beenG Gsus2 GBurning both ends of the night[Outro]CRushing headlong in the windDNow where only dreams have beenG Gsus2 GBurning both ends of the nightC D C G/B Am
