The Urge For Going Lyrics - Mary Black

Well, I woke up today and found frost perched on the town 

It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down 

And when the sun turned straight and cold 

And shivering trees are standing in a naked row 

I get the urge for going, but I never seem to go 

I had someone in the summertime with summer-colored skin 

And not another one in town my darling's heart could win 

And when the leaves fell tumbling down 

And bully winds did rub their faces in the snow 

He got the urge for going, and I had to let him go 

Well, he got the urge for going 

When the meadow grasses are turning brown 

Summertime is a-falling down 

Winter's closing in

And the warriors of winter gave a cold, triumphant shout 

All that stays is dying, and all that lives is getting out 

You see the geese in chevron flight 

A-flapping and a-racing on before the snow 

They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go 

They've got the urge for going 

When the meadow grasses are turning brown 

Summertime is a-falling down 

Winter's closing in 

I'll pile the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin 

I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in 

I'd like to call back summertime 

And let her stay for just another month or so 

But she's got the urge for going, and I'll have to let her go 

She's got the urge for going 

When the meadow grasses are turning brown 

Summertime is a-falling down 

Winter's closing in
