Urge For Going

I woke up 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 the shivering trees Are standing in their naked rows I get the urge for going I never seem to go I get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down Winter is closing in I had a girl in summertime With summer-coloured skin And not another man in town My darling's heart could win When the leaves came tumbling down And the bully winds did rub their faces in the snow She got the urge for going I had to let her go She gets the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down Winter is closing in And the warriors of winter Gave a cold triumphant shout All that's left is dying And all that lives is getting out See the geese in chevron flight Flapping and racing on before the snow They've got the urge for going They've got the wings to go They get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down Winter is closing in Apply the fire with kindling And pull the blankets to my chin I'll lock the vagrant winter out And keep my wandering in I'd like to call back summertime And ask her to stay for just another month or so She's got the urge for going I guess she'll have to go She gets the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown All her empires are fallin' down Winter is closing in I get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down Winter is closing in
