Waite, John - Restless Heart Lyrics






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
Colored glass I can replace
You've got a restless heart
Restless change is blowing
through your life
Tears in your eyes
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
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
You've got a restless heart
Restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes
Tears in the books that I've been reading
I don't understand you now
And I never will
But I still love your restless heart
Three years come
You're still alone and I'm so alone
And I would give anything
To feel my heart beat again
I wouldn't say that I've been losin' time
I've been dreaming
And I'd give up anything to keep you as my friend
You've got a restless heart
Restless change is blowing through your life
Tears in your eyes
Tears in the books I've been reading
I don't understand you now
And I never did
But I love you
And I know you've got a restless heart
(Restless heart)
I know you've got a restless heart (in you)
(Restless heart)
I know (in you)
You got a restless heart (heart)
And I know it (in you)
You got a restless heart (heart)
you got a restless heart (in you)
I know it (heart)
But I'm just like you (in you)
Just like you

    This one sounds very Baby's influenced. Always an awesome tune.

    Will Cottle a good burger is hard to find

  32. J.... C....

    Does he. have. A Greatest Hits out by now I love John Waite.

  33. T.... ....

    John Waite gave us some pretty forgettable songs. This is not one of them. Love this tune. Maybe it's the slide guitar...

  34. c.... m....

    awesome song

  35. G.... R....

    Extremely well done.

  36. W.... F....

    My favorite John Waite song..

    Who would've thought an English man can write and sing a great country type song.

    W.... F....

    And 20 years later, he has If You Ever Get Lonely! I prefer his version over Love and Theft!

  37. o.... ....

    God, I love John Waite..

  38. C.... L....

  42. F.... G....

    Man could he write, could he perform, could he create video sagas, and best of all... The Greatest Voice in Rock History.

  43. D.... M....

    John still Cranking it out today some 30 years after this awesome tune. Awesome Artist. Fan of many years.

  44. S.... C....

    John Waite (like JT & Marvin) has one of those voices who could win a Grammy by just reading the phone book. Love it!

  46. W.... V....

    Great song and video. It was filmed at 37202 90th Street East and Avenue S in Palmdale California. It also served as the location for ZZ Top's Gimme All Your Lovin' video and the final scene of The Terminator. It's now a homogeneous Quickie Mart, void of its original charm.

    W.... V....

    a 1999 episode of XFiles was fimed there...the place was set on fire...

    W.... V....

    That's some great insight guys. Thanks

  47. J.... L....

    great singer

  48. o.... ....

    Love John's voice.  So many good tunes with the Babys  and Bad English.  My favorites are his solo work.

  49. R.... J....

    Amazing song and love the video story line. Genius western guitar influence by Gary Myrick. By far one of my all time favorite 80's rock songs. Makes me think of simpler times in the 80s.

  50. l.... s....

    3:32-7:00--As Paris would say, "That's hot!!!"

    l.... s....

    And I'm saying hot got nothing on you

  51. G.... B....

    That chic is superhot...............Too bad she's a cheating HUER!!!!!!

  52. W.... M....

    Only 416 "Likes" for John Fucking Waite? What a beautiful man and voice. 30 years later he still sounds the same. AND he chats with his fans on Facebook.

    W.... M....

    Dump people nowdays listening to Mily Cyrus ..Bieber etc... They don't know real music and singers ... I'm afraid that slowly indie bands and singers like John Waite are gonna disappear ...

    W.... M....

    M.... M....

    Only one God.

  60. G.... P....

    Who is the girl in this? Anybody know? She looks very familiar!

    G.... P....

    Dont know but the other man checking her out at the bar is a young Russel Crowe

  61. R.... C....

    The picture of the Chevy brought me here.  That was my first car, station wagon and all.  It was an old car even then.  Stovebolt six, three on the tree, them was the days.

  62. G.... P....

    Loved this song, and the whole album!! Great video...a lot of it is the high desert in California near Palmdale/Lancaster. I recognize the tunnel in the early part of the video, and I'm pretty sure it's on the road up towards Mt. Baldy Village.

  63. B.... T....

    Love John Waite but he doesn't get the recognition that he well deserves.He sounds great and looks great now in 2014.He is still singing.Love him The 8o's he was awesome.

    B.... T....

    Bunny Towne a radio station actually tagged him as a one hit wonder. I was like what?

  64. h.... ....

    brilliant song from a brilliant artist.

  65. R.... B....

    Yes David H , I am going to Riverfest also

  66. d.... h....

  67. d.... h....

    Great song, great video by a very underrated artist. Rock on John!

  68. J.... S....

    Brings memories back from a long time ago

  69. R.... R....

    Never knew there was a video! LOL. This was one of my favorite songs on that album. Always reminded me of Wuthering Heights for some reason, that tragic romance.

    R.... R....

    MTV From Back In THE KICKASS DAYS OF "REAL", ROCK 'N' ROLL!🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁🔊🎵🔊🎼

  70. i.... ....

    Ladies , Here's a real man ! He has shared his 'sensitive'side ' with the world ! Has held nothing back from his fans ! His search for True love & the heartache, the kind of love songs that make us hope" He has found that Special someone ", or those times ,when he shares that ' Look ' ( deep into our eyes, into our souls ...) make us want  to just 'melt' ! I think his Lyrics are the Spiritual prose of a true Poet . Food for the soul & a cure for a broken spirit ...John shares his stories so that we know we are not alone , loneliness becomes a part of life we all go through ; but he shows us that " Life goes on , it's part of ' The Process ' . There's learning how to be ok w/ being alone , and that 'Loneliness' isn't forever, 

    i.... ....

    @[email protected] he's a good singer

  71. Q.... ....

    My favorite John Waite song ... never got enough play time on the radio back in the day, if you ask me.

    Q.... ....

    I agree. I think this song is the best one he did as a solo artist. "Missing You" comes in second.

  72. s.... ....

    So many of the music videos from the '80s were very cinematic and told great little stories that really brought the songs to life. This is just one example. John Waite is not only an awesome singer/songwriter, but he always captured the look of the sensitive, tortured guy in his videos.

  73. K.... K....

    One very very cool dude.Had his hairstyle back in 1984 when I had hair

  74. e.... r....

    There's a lot of Eagles on this song, especially when you listen to the lead riff, reminds me of Lying Eyes.

  75. W.... o....

    John is awesome....first saw him live on May 6, 1980 with The Babys opening for Journey in Utica,NY. Then solo,Bad English,solo, seen him alot live...nice guy as I've talked to him a few times. Keep rockin John!!

  76. N.... G....

    One of the best videos ever created. Very artistic and song is fantastic.

  77. B.... T....

    8*0's I loved John Waite and I kept up with him.Last year he came out with a new cd and I love it.Hes another great artist among others from the 80's!

  78. F.... M....

    Nice ong and the best video i´ve ever seen..John Waite is a great artist

  79. b.... ....

    first video of MTV that I remember

  80. G.... H....

    Didn't know this had a video to it ! Loved it when I 1st heard it back in the Summer of 85.

  86. 1.... ....

    add another view here...great song...

  87. 1.... ....

    I can't believe this has less than 2000 views. This was a great song, lyrically one of his best. A great, great singer. Man, the world could use a guy like this today on the airwaves. But thanks to my nephews/nieces, yeah, we have what we have....thanks for the upload & memories!!!!!!!!!! Tony in Sherwood

  88. M.... ....

    Favorite John Waite video, love how he looks at the girl at the bar!

  91. J.... M....
