[Verse 1]
              
I went to work

              
 for her that 


summer
              
A teenage kid 

            
so far from ho

me
              
She was a lone

         
ly widow woman
              
Hell-bent to m

              
ake it on her 


own
              
We were a thou

              
sand miles fro

  
m nowhere
              
Wheat fields a

              
s far as I cou

   
ld see
              
Both needing s

              
omething from 

     
each other
        
Not knowing ye

              
t what that mi

      
ght be


[Verse 2]
              
'Til she came 

              
to me one even


ing
              
Hot cup of cof

            
fee and a smil

e
              
In a dress tha

         
t I was certai

n
              
She hadn't wor

              
n in quite a w


hile
              
There was a di

              
fference in he


r laughter
              
There was a so

            
ftness in her 

eyes
              
And on the air

         
 there was a h

unger
        
Even a boy cou

           
ld recognize


[Chorus]
             
She had a need

             
 to feel the t

   
hunder
              
To chase the l

              
ightning from 

    
the skies
              
To watch a sto

              
rm with all it

  
s wonder
              
Raging in her 

         
lover's eyes
              
She had to rid

              
e the heat of 

          
passion
              
Like a comet b

       
urning bright
              
Rushing headlo

          
ng in the wind
              
Now where only

             
 dreams have b

Burning both e

[Verse 3]
              
That summer wi

              
nd was all aro


und me
              
Nothing betwee

            
n us but the n

ight
              
When I told he

         
r that I'd nev

er
              
She softly whi

              
spered that's 


alright
              
And then I wat

              
ched her hands


 of leather
              
Turn to velvet

            
 in a touch
              
There's never 

         
been a summer
            
When I have ev

          
er learned so 

    
much


[Chorus]
             
She had a need

             
 to feel the t

To chase the l

[Verse 4]
              
I often think 

              
about that sum


mer
              
The sweat, the

            
 moonlight and

 the lace
              
And I have rar

         
ely held anoth

er
              
When I haven't

              
 seen her face
              
And every time

              
 I pass a whea


t field
              
And watch it d

            
ancing with th

e wind
              
Although I kno

         
w it isn't rea

l
              
I just can't h

         
elp but feel
         
Her hungry arm

     
s again


[Chorus]
             
She had a need

             
 to feel the t

   
hunder
              
To chase the l

              
ightning from

To watch a sto

              
rm with all it

  
s wonder
              
Written in her

         
 lover's eyes
              
She had to rid

              
e the heat of 

          
passion
              
Like a comet b

       
urning bright
              
Rushing headlo
