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
Are you reelin' in the years
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin' me you're a genius
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the col lege
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
Are you reelin' in the years
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
