Restless Lyrics

Gordon Lightfoot

There's a kind of a restless feeling And it pulls me from within It sets my senses reeling And my wheels begin to spin
In the quietude of winter You can hear the wild geese cry And I will always love that sound Until the day I die
There's a plain and a simple answer To each and every quest From every quiet dancer Who might be a special guest
In a movie made for TV Or a late night interview You might even find them On the 'Young and the Restless' too
Do you get that restless feeling When you hear a whistle blast ? Like an echo from the past Of an old engine flying down A road that's iron cast
The lake is blue, the sky is gray The leaves have turned to gold The wild goose will be on her way The weather's much too cold
When the muskie and the old trout too Have all gone down to rest? We will be returning to the Things that we love best?
Do you get that restless yearning When you think about your dad? And the scrimshaw that he had Of an old schooner roving 'Neath a sky that's ironclad
There's a kind of a restless feeling And it catches you, off guard As we gaze off in the distance Through the trees in my back yard
I can feel the restless yearning Of those geese as off they roam Then trade that for a warm bed And a place I can call home
Will you get that restless yearning When you hear the wicked blast? Of a sceptre from the past Of a cold diesel, rolling down a road that's built to last
Still, I get that restless feeling When I hear a whistle blast See an image from the past Of an old schooner flying down a sky that's overcast
