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 trader gold
And the shivering trees are
standing in their
naked rows I get the urge for going,
I never seem to
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
Not another man in town,
and my darlin'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 has fallen down,
winter's closing in
And the warriors of winter gave
a cold triumphant shout
All that's left is dyin' and
all that lives is gettin' out
See the geese in
Chevron flight
Flappin' and racin' 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's closing in.
I'll ply 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 sometime
An d 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 em pires are falling
down
Winter's closing in on her
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is
turning brown
Summertime is falling down,
winter is closing in
You
