Urge For Going (Live Broadcast 1966)

I awoke today and found the frost
Perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then
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 get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter
Is closing in

I had me a man in summertime
With Summer-colored skin
And not another girl in town
My darling's heart could win
But when the leaves fell thrumbling down
And bully winds rob 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 closing in

Now the warriors of winter
Give a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying
All that lives is camping out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping
And racing on before the snow

They got the urge for going
And they got the wings to go
They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

So apply the fire with kindling now
Pull blankets to my chin
I"ll lock the vagrant winter out and
Fold my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
Have her stay for just another
Month or so

But 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
