Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I see a silver bird that streaks the sky
And off we fly, my heart and I
My restless heart and I
I see a cloud dance by and fade from view
There we go too, my heart and I
My restless heart and I
I say to each new ship that sails the bay
Are you the one it will be?
Have you come at last, this golden day
To set us free?
Take us away with you, we cry
My restless heart
My restless, restless, restless, restless
Restless, restless heart and I
