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 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 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 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 spend a lot of money
and I 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?
