Lyrics

I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky then it swallowed 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
Summertime is falling down, winter is closing in
Now I had me a girl in summertime, she had summer colored skin
And not another man in town my darling's heart could win
But when the leaves fell on the ground
Strong winds came and covered them with 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, winter was closing in
Now the warriors of winter, they give a cold triumph and shout
And all that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flapping and racing on before the snow
They got the urge for going, they got the wings so they can go
And they get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down, winter is closing in
Now I'll fly the fire with kindling, I'll pull my collar to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and I'll bolt my wanderings in
I'd like to call back summertime
And have her wait for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for going and I guess she's gonna go
And she gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down, winter is closing in
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
Summer's empire is falling down
