When I awoke today and found the frost had perched on the town
|
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
|
And when the wind turns traitor cold
|
And shivering trees are standing naked in a 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
|
And the summertime is falling down
|
And 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 tremblin' down
|
Bully winds did rub their faces in the snow
|
She got the urge for goin', and I had to let her go ...
|
|
And I get the urge for going
|
When the meadow grass is turning brown
|
And the summertime is falling down
|
And winter's closing in
|
|
Now the warriors of winter 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-racing off before the snow
|
They got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go ...
|
|
And I get the urge for going
|
When the meadow grass is turning brown
|
And the summertime is falling down
|
And winter's closing in
|
