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

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

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

And I've rarely held another
When I havn't seen her face
Every time I pass a wheatfield

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