And not another one in town my darling's heart could win
But when the sky turned traitor cold
And bully winds did rub their noses in the snow

And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter's moving in 
Verse 3
The warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
Now all that dies is staying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flurrying and flapping through the naked sky 
Chorus
They got the urge for going 
They've got the wings to fly
They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in 
Verse 4
I'll ply 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
