Urge For Going |
And I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town |
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down |
When the sun turns traitor cold |
And shivering trees are standing in a naked row |
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go |
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown |
Summertime is falling down winter’s closing in |
I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin |
And not another man in town my darling’s heart could win |
But when the leaves fell trembling down |
And bully winds did rub their face down in the snow |
She got the urge for going I had to let her go |
She got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown |
And summertime was falling down and winters closing in |
Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout |
All that stays is dying all that lives is getting out |
See the geese in chevron flight |
Flapping and a-racin on before the snow |
Got the urge for going they’ve got the wings to go |
And they get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown |
Summertime is falling down and winter’s closing in |
I’ll ply the fire with kindling, I’ll pull the blankets to my chin |
I’ll lock the vagrant winter out I’ll bolt my wandering in |
I’d like to call back summertime |
And have her stay for just another month or so |
Chourus |
But she’s got the urge for going I guess she’ll have to go |
And she’s gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning |
Brown |
All her empire’s are falling down winter’s closing in |
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown |
And summertime is falling down |
