Reelin' In the Years (Live) Lyrics

 

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 in 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 spent 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
