Intro : (2x)
I awoke to day 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
Summer time 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
Bully winds came a round and
Pushed them face down in the snow
He got the urge for going
But I never seem to go
I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass was turning brown
Summer time is falling down and winter was closing in
Now the warriors of win t er
They gave a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying
And all that lives is gettin' out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flapping and racing on be fore the snow
They got the urge for going
And they got the wind so they go
They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summer time 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
I'll bolt my wanderings in
I'd like to call back summertime
Have her stay for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for going
So I guess she'll have to go
She gets the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And all her empire is closing down
Summer time is falling down and winter is closing in
And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And summer time is falling down.
