Reelin` In The Years Lyrics

Your everlasting summer, and you can see it fadin' fast
So you grab a piece
of something that you think is gonna last
But 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 reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the
time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are
you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the
tears
Have you had enough of mine

You've been telling me you were a
genius since you were seveteen
In all the time I've known you I still don't
know what you mean
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you
planned
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand

Are you
reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the
tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin'
away the time
Are you gatherin' 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've done
and seen you find another man
The things you think are useless I can't
understand

Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are
you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in
the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you
had enough of mine
