Quick Answer — Restless Lyrics

[00:00.10] There's a kind of a restless feeling and it pulls me from within [00:05.23] It sets my senses reeling and my wheels begin to spin [00:10.96] In the quietude of winter you can hear the wild geese cry [00:16.01] And I will always love that sound until the day I die

Restless Full Lyrics

[00:00.10] There's a kind of a restless feeling and it pulls me from within [00:05.23] It sets my senses reeling and my wheels begin to spin [00:10.96] In the quietude of winter you can hear the wild geese cry [00:16.01] And I will always love that sound until the day I die [00:22.32] There's a plain and a simple answer to each and every quest [00:28.23] From every quiet dancer who might be a special guest [00:33.56] In a movie made for TV or a late night interview [00:38.33] You might even find them on the young and the restless too [00:43.76] Do you get that restless yearning when you hear a whistle blast [00:50.30] Hear an echo from the past [00:53.40] Of an old engine flyin' down a road that's ironcast [00:53.40] The lake is blue, the sky is gray and the leaves have turned to gold [01:18.79] The wild goose will be on her way, the weather's much too cold [01:22.10] When the muskie and the old trout too have all gone down to rest [01:28.35] We will be returning to the things that we do best [01:35.55] Would you get that restless feeling when you think about your dad [01:40.64] And the scrimshaw that he had [01:43.34] Of an old schooner rovin' 'neath a sky that's ironclad [02:10.85] There's a kind of a restless feeling and it catches you off guard [02:16.79] As we gaze out in a distance through the trees in my back yard [02:22.15] I can feel that restless yearning of those geese as off they roam [02:27.72] Then trade that for a warm bed and a place I can call home [02:34.38] Will you get that restless feeling when you hear the wicked blast [02:38.72] Of a spectre from the past [02:41.72] Of a cold diesel rollin' down a road that's built to last [02:48.15] Do you get that restless yearning when you hear a whistle blast [02:53.26] See an image from the past [02:55.48] Of an old schooner flyin' down a sky that's overcast [03:03.29]
