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
