[B]
As a kind of restless feeling, and it pulls me [A] from within
[B] It sets my senses reeling, and [A] my wheels begin [B] to spin
[E] In the quietude of winter you [Bm] can hear the wild geese cry
[B] I will always love that sound [F#m] until the day I die
[B] There's a plain and a simple answer [A] to each and every quest
[B] From every quiet dancer there [A] might be a [B] special guest
[E] In a movie made for TV [D] or a late night interview
[B] You might even find them [A] on the young and the restless [B] too
Do you get that restless feeling [E] when you hear a whistle blast
Like [Bm] an echo from the past [B] of an old engine flying down [E] a road that's sign [B] cast
[Bm] [B]
The [A]
[B] lake is blue, the sky is grey, [A] the leaves have turned to gold
[B] The wild goose will be on her way, [A] the weather's much [B] too cold
[E] When the musky and the old trout [Bm] have all gone down to rest
[B] We will be returning to [A] the things that we [B] loved best
Do you get that restless feeling [E] when you think about your dad
And [Bm] the scrimshaw that he had
[B] Of an old schooner rowing [E] beneath the sky that's [B] high and flat
[Bm]

[A] [B]
There's a kind of a restless feeling [A] that catches your heart's guard
[B] As we gaze up in the distance through [A] the trees in my [B] backyard
I [E] can feel the restless yearning [Bm] of those geese as they row
[B] And trade that for a warm bed [A] and a place [B] I can call home
Do you get that restless yearning when [E] you hear the wicked blast
Of a [Bm] specter from the past [B] of a cold diesel [F#m] rolling [E] down a road that's built [B] to last
Still I get that restless feeling [E] when I hear a whistle blast
See [Bm] an image from the past [B] of an old schooner flying [E] down a sky that's [B] overcast
