Crosby & Nash - Urge For Going lyrics

When I awoke today and found the frost had perched on the town It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down And when the wind turns traitor cold And shivering trees are standing naked in a row I get the urge for going but I never seem to go And I get the urge for going When the meadow gra** is turning brown And the summertime is falling down And winter's closing in I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin And not another man in town my darling's heart could win But when the leaves fell tremblin' down Bully winds did rub their faces in the snow She got the urge for goin', and I had to let her go ... And I get the urge for going When the meadow gra** is turning brown And the summertime is falling down And winter's closing in Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out See the geese in chevron flight Flapping and a-racing off before the snow They got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go ... And I get the urge for going When the meadow gra** is turning brown And the summertime is falling down And winter's closing in
