Are ya rollin' in the leaves?
Are you reeling in the years?
Are you "Katherine of the Tears?"
Are you gatherin' up the tears?
Are you gatherin' up the teeth
or
Are you gatherin' up the teas
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Are you gathering aperitifs?
Have you had enough of mine?

I literally thought that the lyrics were comparing someone with solitary (and perhaps, fleeting) fortune or pleasure to a farmer during harvesting season.

Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
seems like some of us just cannot understand lyrics when we hear them
Are you screaming in my ear?
Are you reelin' in the years?
Are you wheeling in the yees
Are you reeling in the years?
I still don't watch TV
I still don't know what you mean
You can say you were a genius when you were having tea
You've been telling me you were a genius since you were 17
Are you really a good reader?
Are you reelin’ in the years?
Are you really from the east?
Are you reelin’ in the years?
Are you really in the limo?
Are you reelin’ in the years?
