The Urge For Going Lyrics - Travis

I woke up today and found snow perched on the ground 

It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down 

So when the leaves were trembling 

Frozen trees were standing in a lonely row 

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

And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown 

And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in 

I had a love in summertime with summer-colored skin 

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

But when the sky turned traitor cold 

And bully winds did rub their noses 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 moving in 

The warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout 

Now all that dies is staying and all that lives is getting out 

See the geese in chevron flight 

Flurrying and flapping through the naked sky 

They got the urge for going 

They've got the wings to fly 

They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown 

And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in 

I'll ply 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 ask her just to stay another month or so 

But she got the urge for going 

I guess she'll have to go 

And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown 

Summertime is falling down and winter's moving in 

And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown 

All my empires are fallen down and winter's moving in
