Urge for Going - 2008 Remaster

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 are shivering in a naked row
 I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
 I get the urge for going
 When the meadow grass is turning brown
 Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
 I had me a man in summertime
 He had summer-colored skin
 And not another girl in town
 My darling's heart could win
 But when the leaves fell on the ground, and
 Bully winds came around, pushed them face down in the snow
 He got the urge for going
 And I had to let him go
 He got the urge for going
 When the meadow grass was turning brown
 Summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
 Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
 And all that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out
 See the geese in chevron flight flapping
 And a-racing on before the snow
 They've got the urge for going, and they've
 Got the wings so they can go
 They get the urge for going
 When the meadow grass is turning brown
 Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
 I'll ply the fire with kindling now, I'll
 Pull the blankets up to my chin
 I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in
 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 and I guess she'll have to go
 She gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
 And all her empire's falling down
