1
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
2
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
3
When the sun turns traitor cold
4
and all trees are shivering in a naked row
5
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
6
I get the urge for going
7
When the meadow grass is turning brown
8
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
9
I had me a man in summertime
10
He had summer-colored skin
11
And not another girl in town
12
My darling's heart could win
13
But when the leaves fell on the ground
14
And bully winds came around pushed them face down in the snow
15
He got the urge for going and I had to let him go
16
He got the urge for going
17
When the meadow grass was turning brown
18
And summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
19
Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
20
And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
21
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
22
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings so they can go
23
They get the urge for going
24
When the meadow grass is turning brown
25
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
26
I'll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
27
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and I'll bolt my wandering in
28
I'd like to call back summertime and have her stay for just another month or so
29
But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go
30
She get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
31
And all her empires are falling down
32
And winter's closing in
33
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
34
And summertime is falling down
