The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Three years come, I'm still alone and you're so lonely
I look in the mirror, I see those lines on my face
All of my dreams are gone, flyin' with the starlings
But they were not stolen gems, coloured glass I can't replace
Chorus:
You've got a restless heart, restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes, and tears in the books that I've been reading
I don't understand you now, and I never did
But I still love your restless heart
Days into nights and nights into days, lights flicker 'round me
And down to the shore I walk, I'm haunted by your face
Ungracious moves I've made, just like a broken dancer
If I could get you back, they are steps I would retrace
(chorus - with "...and I never will")
(Solo)
Three years come, you're still alone and I'm so lonely
And I would give anything, to feel my heart beat again
I wouldn't say that I've been losin' time, I've been dreamin'
And I'd give up anything to keep you as my friend
(chorus - with "But I love you")
And I know you've got a restless heart
(Restless heart) I know you've got a restless heart (you)
(Restless heart) I know (you)
You got a restless heart (restless heart), and I know it (you)
You got a restless heart (restless heart), you got a restless heart (you)
I know it (restless heart), but I'm just like you (you), just like you
