Joni Mitchell – Urge For Going 0

written by Joni Mitchell

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 was falling down
And winter's moving in

I had a love in summertime
With summer colored skin
And all the another ones 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 dies is staying
And all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flurrying 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 pile 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 empires have fallen down
And winter's moving in
