Albert Hammond (writer, recording artist): It's about my life and everybody else's - yours, the people reading this - everybody's. We've all been through restless years and we probably will go through more. It's something that runs through life.
Ride the train that's headed nowhere
Easy going like you don't care
Find a station, get off somewhere
In your restless years
Hold on when your dreams are fading
Can't see all that you're creating
Rainbows that you can't stop chasing
Through your restless years
You focus on the stars
You hold a tarot card
The King of fools
Pick the lock, find the stairway
Send your dreams across the airwaves
Your confusion's temporary
In your restless years
(Instrumental)
You focus on your heart
You keep yourself apart
So much to prove
Hold up your head, like you're winning
Though it seems you're just beginning
Little stones that you've been skimming
Through your restless years
These are the restless years
These are the restless years
