Reelin' In The Years Lyrics

[00:30.03] Your everlasting summer and you can see it fading fast
[00:33.64] So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last
[00:36.84] Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand
[00:40.61] The things you think are precious I can't understand
[00:44.06] Are you reelin' in the years?
[00:47.98] Stowin' away the time
[00:51.16] Are you gatherin' up the tears?
[00:54.79] Have you had enough of mine
[00:58.37] Are you reelin' in the years?
[01:01.65] Stowin' away the time
[01:05.28] Are you gatherin' up the tears?
[01:08.74] Have you had enough of mine
[01:13.22] You've been telling me you're a genius since you were seventeen
[01:17.22] In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean
[01:20.79] The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned
[01:24.47] The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand
[01:27.64] Are you reelin' in the years?
[01:31.86] Stowin' away the time
[01:34.95] Are you gatherin' up the tears?
[01:38.54] Have you had enough of mine
[01:42.10] Are you reelin' in the years?
[01:46.06] Stowin' away the time
[01:49.31] Are you gatherin' up the tears?
[01:52.97] Have you had enough of mine
[01:58.60]
[02:53.83] I've spent a lot of money and I've spent a lot of time
[02:57.78] The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind
[03:01.11] After all the things we've done and seen you find another man
[03:05.04] The things you think are useless I can't understand
[03:08.32] Are you reelin' in the years?
[03:12.31] Stowin' away the time
[03:15.56] Are you gatherin' up the tears?
[03:19.16] Have you had enough of mine
[03:22.65] Are you reelin' in the years?
[03:26.61] Stowin' away the time
[03:29.67] Are you gatherin' up the tears?
[03:33.32] Have you had enough of mine
[03:37.79]
