Restless - 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 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
