The Urge For Going

Travis

I woke up today and found 
Snow perched on ground 
It hovered in a frozen sky 
And gobbled summer down 
So when the the leaves were trembling 
Frozen trees were standing in a lonely row 

I got the urge for going 
But never seem to go 
And I got the urge for going 
When the meadow grass was turning brown 
Summertime is falling down 
And winter's moving in 

I had a love in summertime 
With summer coloured skin 
And all the another wins in town 
My darling's heart could win 
But when the sky turned traitor cold 
And bully winds stayed 
Rubbed their noses in the snow 
She got the urge for going 

I had to let her go 
And she got the urge for going 
When the meadow grass was turning brown 
Summertime was falling down 
And winter's moving in 
The warriors of winter gave 
A cold triumphant shout 
Now all the dyings are staying 
And all that lives is getting out 
See the geese in chevron flight 
Flurring in and flapping through the naked sky 

I got the urge for going 
They've got the wings to fly 
And they got the urge for going 
When the meadow grass was turning brown 
Summertime is falling down 
And winter's moving in 
I'll ply the fire with kindling 
And pull the blankets to my chin 
I'll lock the vagrant winter out 
And bolt my wandering in 
I'd like to call back summertime 
And ask her just to stay another month or so 
But she got the urge for going 
I guess she'll have to go 
And she got the urge for going 
When the meadow grass was turning brown 
Summertime is falling down 
And winter's moving in 
And she got the urge for going 
When the meadow grass was turning brown 
All my empire's falling down 
And winter's moving in
