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 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
  And summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
  I had a man in summertime
  He had summer-colored skin
  And not another girl in town
  My darlings heart could win
  But when the leaves fell on the ground
  And bully winds came around
  And pushed them face down 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
  Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout
  And all that stays is dying all that lives is gettin out
  See the geese in chevron flight
  Flapping and racing on before the snow
  They got the urge for going
  And theyve got the wings so they can go
  They get the urge for going
  When the meadow grass is turning brown
  And summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
  Ill ply the fire with kindling now
  Ill pull the blankets up to my chin
  Ill lock the vagrant winter out
  And Ill bolt my wandering in
  Id like to call back summertime
  And have her stay for just another month or so
  But 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 falling down
  And winters closing in
  And I get the urge for going
  When the meadow grass is turning brown
  And summertime is Falling Down
