(N.C) A I went to work for her that summer F#m A teenage kid so far from home D She was a lonely widowed woman E Esus Hellbent to make it on her own A Asus We were a thousand miles from nowhere F#m Wheat fields as far as I could see D Dsus Both needin' somethin' from eachother E A Asus A Not knowing yet what that might be

verse II A 'Till she came to me one evening F#m Hot cup of coffee and a smile D In a dress that I was certain E She hadn't worn in quite a while A There was a difference in her laughter F#m There was a softness in her eyes D And on the air there was a hunger E A Even a boy could recognize chorus E D She had a need to feel the thunder A To chase the lightning from the skies D To watch a storm in all it's wonder E Ragin' in her lovers eyes F#m E D She had to ride the heat of passion A Like a comet burnin' bright D Rushing head-long in the wind E Out where only dreams have been A D A Burnin' both ends of the night 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

verse IV

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

Although I know it isn't real
I just can't help but feel
Her hungry arms again
