That summer lyrics

Artist  : Garth brooks 
Song : That summer
 
I went to work for her that summer  
A teenage kid so far from home  
She was a lonely widow woman  
Hell-bent to make it on her own  
We were a thousand miles from nowhere  
Wheat fields as far as I could see  
Both needing something from each other  
Not knowing yet what that might be  
 
'Til she came to me one evening  
Hot cup of coffee and a smile  
In a dress that I was certain  
She hadn't worn in quite a while  
There was a difference in her laughter  
There was a softness in her eyes  
And on the air there was a hunger  
Even a boy could recognize  
 
She had a need to feel the thunder  
To chase the lightning from the sky  
To watch a storm with all its wonder  
Written in her lover's eyes  
She had to ride the heat of passion  
Like a comet burning bright  
Rushing headlong in the wind  
Now where only dreams have been  
Burning both ends of the night  
 
That summer wind was all around me  
Nothing between us but the night  
When I told her that I'd never  
She softly whispered that's alright  
And then I watched her hands of leather  
Turn to velvet in a touch  
There's never been a summer  
When I have ever learned so much  
 
We had a need to feel the thunder  
To chase the lightning from the sky  
To watch a storm with all its wonder  
Written in her lover's eyes  
She had to ride the heat of passion  
Like a comet burning bright  
Rushing headlong in the wind  
Now where only dreams have been  
Burning both ends of the night 
 
I often think about that summer  
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace  
And I have rarely held another  
When I haven't seen her face  
And every time I pass a wheat field  
And watch it dancing with the wind  
Although I know it isn't real  
I just can't help but feel  
Her hungry arms again  
 
She had a need to feel the thunder  
To chase the lightning from the sky  
To watch a storm with all its wonder  
Written in her lover's eyes  
She had to ride the heat of passion  
Like a comet burning bright  
Rushing headlong in the wind  
Now where only dreams have been  
Burning both ends of the night 
 
Rushing in long in the wind  
Now where only dreams have been  
Burnin' both ends of the night
