Lyrics

0:09There's a kind of a restless feeling
0:11And it pulls me from within
0:14It sets my senses reeling
0:16And my wheels begin to spin
0:19In the quietude of winter
0:22You can hear the wild geese cry
0:25And I will always love that sound
0:28Until the day I die
0:32There's a plain and a simple answer
0:34To each and every quest
0:37From every quiet dancer
0:39Who might be a special guest
0:42In a movie made for TV
0:45Or a late night interview
0:48You might even find them
0:50On the 'Young and the Restless' too
0:55Do you get that restless feeling
0:57When you hear a whistle blast
0:59Like an echo from the past
1:02Of an old engine flying down
1:05A road that's iron cast
1:23The lake is blue the sky is gray
1:26The leaves have turned to gold
1:28The wild goose will be on her way
1:31The weather's much too cold
1:33When the muskie and the old trout too
1:36Have all gone down to rest
1:39We will be returning to the
1:41Things that we love best
1:46Do you get that restless yearning
1:48When you think about your dad
1:51And the scrimshaw that he had
1:54Of an old schooner roving
1:56'Neath a sky that's ironclad
2:22There's a kind of a restless feeling
2:24And it catches you off guard
2:27As we gaze off in the distance
2:29Through the trees in my back yard
2:32I can feel the restless yearning
2:35Of those geese as off they roam
2:38Then trade that for a warm bed
2:40And a place I can call home
2:45Will you get that restless yearning
2:47When you hear the wicked blast
2:49Of a sceptre from the past
2:52Of a cold diesel rolling down a road that's built to last
2:58Still I get that restless feeling
3:00When I hear a whistle blast
3:03See an image from the past
3:06Of an old schooner flying down a sky that's overcast
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
