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
  Summertime is falling down and winter
  Is closing in
  I had me 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
  Bully winds came around, 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
  Summertime was falling down and winter
  Was closing in
  Now the warriors of winter they gave a
  Cold triumphant shout
  And all that stays is dying and all that
  Lives is getting out
  See the geese in chevron flight flapping
  And racing on before the snow
  They got the urge for going
  And they got the wings so they can go
  They get the urge for going
  When the meadow grass is turning brown
  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 fold my wandering in
  Id like to call back summertime
  Have her stay for just another
  Month or so
  But shes got the urge for gong
  So I guess shell have to go
  She gets the urge for going
  When the meadow grass is turning brown
  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
