Urge For Going\u00a0by Joni Mitchell<\/span><\/h2>\n

I awoke today and found
\nthe frost perched on the town
\nIt hovered in a frozen sky
\nthen it gobbled summer down
\nWhen the sun turns traitor cold
\nand all the trees are shivering in a naked row<\/p>\n

I get the urge for going
\nBut I never seem to go
\nI get the urge for going
\nWhen the meadow grass is turning brown
\nSummertime is falling down and winter is closing in<\/p>\n

I had me a man in summertime
\nHe had summer-colored skin
\nAnd not another girl in town
\nMy darling’s heart could win
\nBut when the leaves fell on the ground
\nBully winds came around
\nPushed them face down in the snow<\/p>\n

He got the urge for going
\nAnd I had to let him go
\nHe got the urge for going
\nWhen the meadow grass was turning brown
\nSummertime was falling down and winter was closing in<\/p>\n

Now the warriors of winter
\nThey gave a cold triumphant shout
\nAnd all that stays is dying
\nAnd all that lives is gettin’ out
\nSee the geese in chevron flight
\nFlapping and racing on before the snow<\/p>\n

They got the urge for going
\nAnd they got the wings so they can go
\nThey get the urge for going
\nWhen the meadow grass is turning brown
\nSummertime is falling down and winter is closing in<\/p>\n

I’ll ply the fire with kindling now
\nI’ll pull the blankets up to my chin
\nI’ll lock the vagrant winter out and
\nI’ll fold my wandering in
\nI’d like to call back summertime
\nHave her stay for just another month or so<\/p>\n

But she’s got the urge for going
\nSo I guess she’ll have to go
\nShe gets the urge for going
\nWhen the meadow grass is turning brown
\nAll her empire’s falling down
\nAnd winter’s closing in.
\nAnd I get the urge for going
\nWhen the meadow grass is turning brown
\nAnd summertime is falling down.<\/p>\n
