Speaking of winter, we had this little discussion about winter closing in on Sue MacNamara's new "Wanderer" mailing list. Sue had posted the lyrics to Urge For Going, another winter Joni song. I hadn't read it's poetry in so long and well, it really is a beautiful song. Urge For Going by Joni Mitchell 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 darling's 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 camping 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
