Tom Rush: "Urge For Going"

Bull Run Restaurant, Shirley, Massachusetts
11/30/07

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've got the wings to go

--joni mitchell (from "urge for going ")
