From: Harlan L Thompson <harlant@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu> NOTE TO NEVADA: Please file under both Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills and Nash. URGE FOR GOING- Joni Mitchell/ Crosby and Nash

I ^Dawoke tod^Cay and found frost had perched on the t^Down H^Darbored in a fr^Cozen sky and all the summer do^Dwn ^GAnd when the wind turned tr^Fade and cold A^Gnd all the trees are shiv^Fering in a na^Eked row I^D get the urge for g^Coing but I never seem to^D go

CHORUS:

And I g^Cet the u^Grge for go^Ding When the mea^Cdow gra^Gss is tur^Dning brown And the sum^Cmerti^Gme is fal^Dling down And the wi^Cnter's cl^Gosing ^Din

I had a girl in summertime with summer colored skin And not another man in ten my darling's heart could win When the leaves fell tremblin' down (Bullies wished (')) to rub their faces in the snow She got the urge for goin', I had to let her go ...CHORUS Now the warriors of winter give a cold triumphant shout All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out See the geese in chevron flight Laughing and a-racing off before the snow They got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go ...CHORUS TWICE NOTE: I don't have a copy of the Joni Mitchell version since its so rare- I only know the Crosby-Nash version. Perhaps someone with the Michell version might be able to pick out some of the words that I couldnt quite catch. (according the the CSN box set liner notes, the song was written by J.M. in the mid sixties but not released by her until 1972 as the b-side of You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio. The Crosby-Nash version was done in 1971 but not released until the CSN box set came out a few years ago) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu)
