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
|
