[A] [D] .
[E] [D] [C#m] [Bm] .
I went to work for [A] her that summer, a teenage kid [F#m] so far from home.
She was a lonely [D] widowed woman, helping to make it on [E] her own.
We were a thousand miles [A] from nowhere, we filled as far as I [F#m] could see.
Both needing something [D] from each other, [E] not knowing yet what [A] that might be.
Till she came to me one evening, a hot cup of coffee [F#m] and a smile.
In a dress [D] that I was certain, she hadn't worn in [E] quite a while.
There was a difference [A] in her laughter, there was a softness [F#m] in her eyes.
And on the air there [D] was a hunger, [E] even a [A] boy could recognize.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the sky.
To watch the storm with [D] all its wonder, raging in her [E] lover's eyes.
She had to ride the [F#m] heat of passion, [E] [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Rushing headlong [D] in the wind, now where [A] only [E] dreams have been, burning both ends [A] of the night.
That summer wind was all around me, nothing between us [F#m] but the night.
And when I told [D] her that I never, she softly whispered that's [E] alright.
And then I watched [A] her hands of leather, turn to velvet in a [F#m] touch.
There's never been [D] another summer, [E] when I have [A] ever loved so much.
She had a need [E] to feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning [A] from the sky.
To watch the storm [D] with all its wonder, raging in [E] each other's eyes.
She had to ride the [F#m] heat of passion, [E] [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Rushing headlong [D] in the wind, now where only [E] dreams have been, burning both ends [A] of the night.

[A] .
I often think about that summer, the sweat, the moonlight [F#m] and the lace.
And I have rarely [D] held another, when I haven't [E] seen her face.
[A] And every time I pass her we feel, I watch her dancing [F#m] with the wind.
Although I know [D] it isn't real, I just can't [E] help but feel her hungry arms [A] look down.
She had a need to [E] feel the thunder, [D] to chase the lightning from [A] the sky.
To watch the storm with all [D] its wonder, raging in [E] her lover's eyes.
She had to ride the [F#m] heat of passion, [E] [D] like a comet [A] burning bright.
Rushing headlong [D] in the wind, now where only [E] dreams have been, burning both ends [A] of the night.
Rushing headlong in [D] the wind, now where only dreams [E] have been, burning both [A] ends of the night.
