Lightfoot Gordon Restless Lyrics

Restless Lyrics

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 dance 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 ya get that restless feelin' when you hear a whistle blast

 Like an echo from the past

 Of an old engine flyin' down a road that's ironcast

 

 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 ya get that restless yearning when you think about your dad

 And the scrimshaw that he had

 Of an old schooner rovin' 'neath a sky that's ironclad

 

 There's a kind of a restless feeling and it catches you off guard

 As we gaze off at the distance through the trees in my back yard

 I can feel that restless yearning of those geese as off they roam

 Then trade that for a warm bed and a place I can call home

 

 Will ya get that restless yearning when you hear the wicked blast

 Of a spectre from the past

 Of a cold diesel rollin' down a road that's built to last

 

 Still I get that restless feelin' when I hear a whistle blast

 See an image from the past

 Of an old schooner flyin' down a sky that's overcast
