Urge for Going (2008 Remaster)

And I woke up today and found

Frost perched on the town

It hovered in a frozen sky

And gobbled summer down

When the sun turns traitor cold

And shivering trees are standing in a naked row

I get the urge for going and I never seem to go

And I get the urge for going

When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is a-falling down, winter's closing in

And I had me a girl in summertime

With summer-colored skin

And not another man in town

My darling's heart could win

And when the leaves fell trembling down

And bully winds did rub their face down in the snow

She got the urge for going and I had to let her go

And she got the urge for going

When the meadow grass was turning brown

Summertime was falling down and winter's closing in

And the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout

And all that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out

You see the geese in Chevron flight

Flapping and a-racing on before the snow

Got the urge for going, they've got the wings to go

And they get the urge for going

When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down, the winter's closing in

I'll ply the fire with kindling

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

She's got the urge for going and I guess she'll have to go

And she gets the urge for going

When the meadow grass is turning brown

All her empires are falling down, winter's closing in

And I get the urge for going

When the meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down
