Reeling 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 |
| You wouldnt know a diamond |
| If you held it in your hand |
| The things you think are precious |
| I cant understand |
| 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 youre a genius |
| Since you were seventeen |
| In all the time Ive known you |
| I still dont know what you mean |
| The weekend at the college |
| Didnt turn out like you planned |
| The things that pass for knowledge |
| I cant understand |
| I 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 weve done and seen |
| You find another man |
| The things you think are useless |
| I cant understand |
