Reelin` In The Years — текст песни (Steely Dan)

Your everlasting summer

You can see it fading fast

So you grab a piece of something

That you think is gonna last

You wouldn`t know a diamond

If you held it in your hand

The things you think are precious

I can`t understand



CHORUS:

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



CHORUS



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 we`ve done and seen

You find another man

The things you think are useless

I can`t understand



CHORUS
