Jody Miller - Urge For Going lyrics

I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town

It hovered in a frozen sky then and 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 met a boy in summertime he had summer-colored skin

Not another girl in town my darling's heart could win

When the leaves fell trembling down

Bully winds did push their faces in the snow

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

He got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown

Summertime was falling down and winter's closing in

Now the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout

And all that stays is dying all that lives is gettin' out

See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow

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

I'd like to call back summertime and have her stay for just a month or so

But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go

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

Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in
