Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
But you wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understandAre you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mineAre you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mineYou 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 at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understandAre you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mineAre you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mineI spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in 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 understandAre you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mineAre you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
