Joni Mitchell: "Urge For Going"


1965

now the warriors of winter
gave a cold triumphant shout
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've got the urge for going
and they've got the wings to go
they get the urge for going
when the meadow grass is turning brown
summertime is falling down
and winter is closing in
