Urge for Going Charlotte Martin

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
