Urge for Going Lyrics

I awoke today and found frost had perched on the town
Harbored in a frozen sky and all the summer down
And when the wind turned trade and cold
And all the trees are shivering 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
And the summertime is falling down
And the winter's closing in

I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin
And not another man in ten, my darling's heart could win
When the leaves fell tremblin' down
(Bullies wished)
To rub their faces in the snow
She got the urge for goin', 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 the 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
Laughing 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 the winter's closing in
