[00:18.400] | I awoke today and found |
[00:21.360] | the frost perched on the town |
[00:25.220] | It hovered in a frozen sky |
[00:29.700] | Then it gobbled summer down |
[00:33.429] | When the sun turns traitor cold |
[00:37.999] | And shivering trees are standing |
[00:40.519] | in a naked row |
[00:45.59] | I get the urge for going |
[00:45.299] | |
[00:48.859] | But I never seem to go |
[00:53.209] | I get the urge for going |
[00:56.819] | When the meadow grass is turning brown and |
[01:01.609] | Summertime is falling down |
[01:05.29] | and winter is closing in |
[01:08.210] | |
[01:17.160] | I had me a man in summertime |
[01:21.110] | He had summer-colored skin |
[01:25.160] | Not another girl in town |
[01:29.389] | My darling's heart could win |
[01:33.119] | But when the leaves fell trembling down |
[01:37.719] | Bully winds did rub their faces in the snow |
[01:44.128] | |
[01:44.689] | He got the urge for going |
[01:48.800] | And I had to let him go |
[01:53.29] | He got the urge for going |
[01:56.830] | When the meadow grass was turning brown and |
[02:01.550] | Summertime was falling down |
[02:04.999] | and winter was closing in |
[02:08.270] | |
[02:09.500] | The warriors of winter |
[02:12.570] | They gave a cold triumphant shout |
[02:17.100] | And all that stays is dying |
[02:20.470] | All that lives is getting out |
[02:25.70] | See the geese in chevron flight |
[02:29.370] | Flapping and racing on before the snow |
[02:36.150] | |
[02:36.460] | They've got the urge for going |
[02:40.320] | And they've got the wings to go |
[02:44.729] | They get the urge for going |
[02:48.840] | When the meadow grass is turning brown and |
[02:53.260] | Summertime is falling down |
[02:56.800] | and winter is closing in |
[03:00.100] | |
[03:00.790] | I ply the fire with kindling now |
[03:04.330] | I pull the blankets up to my chin |
[03:08.690] | I lock the vagrant winter out |
[03:12.790] | And fool my wandering in |
[03:16.590] | I'd like to call back summertime and |
[03:21.190] | Have her stay for just another month or so |
[03:28.0] | |
[03:28.160] | She's got the urge for going |
[03:32.80] | So I guess she'll have to go |
[03:36.560] | She gets the urge for going |
[03:40.50] | When the meadow grass is turning brown and |
[03:45.500] | All her empires are falling down and |
[03:49.0] | Winter's closing in |
[03:51.740] | |
[03:52.120] | And I get the urge for going |
[03:56.600] | When the meadow grass was turning brown and |
[04:00.890] | Summertime is falling down |
[04:04.190] | and winter is closing in |
[04:08.290] | And winter's closing in |
[04:12.400] | And winter's closing in |
[00:18.400] | I awoke today and found |
