Reelin' 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 know a diamond if you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious I don't understand
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 telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen
All this time I've known you I still don't know what you mean
Well the weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge well I can't understand
Are you feeling in the years
Stowing away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had a bough of mine
Are you reeling in the years
You're stowing away the time
Are you gathering up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Well 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 said and done you find another man
The things you think are useless well I don'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
