Urge For Going (Album Version) - Tom Rush
Written by：Joni Mitchell/Paul Harris
And I awoke up today and found
Frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky
Gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And shivering trees are standing in a naked row
I get the urge for going
And I never seem to go
And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down
Winter is closing in
And I had a girl in summertime
With summer colored skin
And not another man in town
My darling's heart could win
When the leaves fell trembling down
Bully winds did rub their faces in the 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
And winter was closing in
The warriors of winter
They gave a cold triumphant 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've got the urge for going
They've got the wings to go
And they get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down
And winter is closing in
I ply the fire with kindling
I pull the blankets up to my chin
I lock the vagrant winter out
And fool my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
And have her stay for just another month or so
She's got the urge for going
And I guess she'll have to go
She gets the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
All her empires are falling down
Winter's closing in
And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down
