Charlotte Martin - Urge For Going |
|
I awoke today and found |
|
the frost perched on the town |
|
It hovered in a frozen sky |
|
Then it gobbled summer down |
|
When the sun turns traitor cold |
|
And shivering trees are standing |
|
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 and |
|
Summertime is falling down |
|
and winter is closing in |
|
I had me a man in summertime |
|
He had summer-colored skin |
|
Not another girl in town |
|
My darling's heart could win |
|
But when the leaves fell trembling down |
|
Bully winds did rub 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 and |
|
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 |
|
And they've got the wings to go |
|
They get the urge for going |
|
When the meadow grass is turning brown and |
|
Summertime is falling down |
|
and winter is closing in |
|
I ply the fire with kindling now |
|
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 |
|
So I guess she'll have to go |
|
She gets the urge for going |
|
When the meadow grass is turning brown and |
|
All her empires are falling down and |
|
Winter's closing in |
|
And I get the urge for going |
|
When the meadow grass was turning brown and |
|
Summertime is falling down |
|
and winter is closing in |
|
And winter's closing in |
|
And winter's closing in |
