Urge for Going Lyrics

I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold and
all the trees stand shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
I had me a girl in summertime
with a summer-colored skin
Not another man in town
My darling's heart could win
When the leaves fell thumbling down, and
Bully winds did push there faces in the snow
She got the urge for going
And I had to her him go
She got the urge for going wind
The meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter closing in

Now the warriors of winter, give a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight a-flapping and a-racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going, they've got the wings to go
I'd like to call back summertime, and have her stay, for just another month or so

But she's got the urge for going
so I guess she'll have to go
And I get the urge for going wind
The meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
