Lyrics
RESTLESS
Words & Music by Paul Wilson & Joanne Tramonte

1)
It?s a restless kinda feeling, when I toss and turn and think of you.
It?s a restless kinda feeling, when I toss and turn and think of you .
Wakin? up with spent energy, wakin? up and waitin? to see.
2)
Waitin? to see if it?s a better day, wonderin? if any joy gonna come my way.
Waitin? to see if it?s a better day, wonderin? if any joy gonna come my way.
Hopin? happiness will come again, maybe I?ll look and find a brand new friend.
3)
Since you said so long and goodbye, it ain;t the tears that make me sigh.
Since you said so long and goodbye, it ain?t the tears that make me sigh.
The longing has worn out my heart, draggin? my limbs and slowin? my start.
4)
I pull myself to my coffee cup, pry my eyes open and try to get up.
I pull myself to my coffee cup, pry my eyes open and try to get up.
Makin? myself drink and eat, pullin? myself forward on trodden feet.
Instrumental Break
5)
Restless, haunted down to my soul, gotta find a brand new goal.
Restless, haunted down to my soul, gotta find a brand new goal.
Weight of this loss has turned me out, lack of sleep has turned me about.
