That Summer (First Take)

[Verse 1] Well, I can tell she was restless By the way she shook my hand And as I watched her and her partner Well, I began to understand If we had nothing else in common About one thing we felt the same Neither one of us was wanting Her to leave with the one she came [Verse 2] She let me know she had a hunger By the way she looked at me For the days when she was younger And the way love used to be Even though she was much older Than any girl I'd held before When that dress slipped from her shoulders Age didn't matter anymore [Chorus] We had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the skies To watch the storm and all its wonder Raging in each other's eyes We had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing head long in the wind Out where only dreams had been Burning both ends of the night [Verse 3] 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 those wheat fields Or smell the rain out on the wind All though I know it isn't real I swear to God I feel her hungry arms again [Chorus] She had a need to feel the thunder To chase the lightning from the skies To watch the storm and all its wonder Raging in each other's eyes We had to ride the heat of passion Like a comet burning bright Rushing head long in the wind Out where only dreams had been Burning both ends of the night [Outro] Rushing head long in the wind Out where only dreams had been Burning both ends of the night
