Urge For Going lyrics
Written by: Joni Mitchell, performd by Crosby & Nash

When I awoke today and found the frost had perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
And when the wind turns traitor cold
And shivering trees are standing naked in a row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And the summertime is falling down
And winter s closing in

I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin
And not another man in town my darling s heart could win
But when the leaves fell tremblin down
Bully winds did rub their faces in the snow
She got the urge for goin , and I had to let her go ...

And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And the summertime is falling down
And winter s closing in

Now the warriors of winter 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-racing off before the snow
They got the urge for going and they ve got the wings to go ...

And I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
And the summertime is falling down
And winter s closing in
