text: 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 darlings 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
  Theyve got the urge for going
  And theyve 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
  Id like to call back summertime and
  Have her stay for just another month or so
  Shes got the urge for going
  So I guess shell have to go
  She gets the urge for going
  When the meadow grass is turning brown and
  All her empires are falling down and
  Winters 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 winters closing in
  And winters closing in
