+9 (2)
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
+9
It hovered in a frozen sky and it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
E5addD/
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
CHORUS #1:
And I get the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter s closing in
I had a me a man in summertime, he had summer colored skin
And not another girl in town that darling s heart could win
But when the leaves fell on the ground
And bully winds come around and pushed them face down in the snow
He got the urge for goin , and I had to let him go ...CHORUS
CHORUS #2:
He got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
And summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
Now the warriors of winter they 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-racin on before the snow
They got the urge for going and they ve got the wings so they can go
CHORUS #3:
They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter s closing in ...REPEAT INTRO
I ll ply the fire with kindling, I ll pull the blankets to my chin
I ll lock the vagrant winter out and I ll bolt my wandering in
I d like to call back summertime
And 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
CHORUS #4:
She s gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And all her empire s falling down and winter s closing in
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down ...REPEAT INTRO
