Urge for Going (Live)

Urge for Going (Live) - Joni Mitchell (琼尼·米契儿)

I awoke today and found

The frost perched on the town

It hovered in a frozen sky then

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's closing in

I hear a met in summertime

With summer colored skin

And not another girl in town

My darling's heart could win

But when the leaves fell trembling down

Bully winds came around pushed them face 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's closing in

Now the warriors of winter

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

They got the urge for going

They've got the wings to go

They got the urge for going when

The meadow grass is turning brown

Summertime is falling down

And winter's closing in

So I'll ply the fire with kindling

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

Having stay for just another month or so

But she's got the urge for going

So I guess she'll have to go

She get the urge for going when

Meadow grass is turning brown
