REELING IN THE YEARS

Your everlasting summer You can see it fading fast So you grab a piece of something That you think is gonna last Well you wouldn't even know a diamond If you held it in your hand The things you think are precious I can't understand Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine You've been tellin' me you're a genius Since you were seventeen In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean The weekend in the college Didn't turn out like you planned The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine I've spent a lot of money And I've spent a lot of time The trip we made to Hollywood Is etched upon my mind After all the things we'd done and seen You find another man The things you think are useless I can't understand Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reeling in the years Stowing away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine
