Hearts In Decline

This song is on Dan Fogelberg's Exiles album released in 1987-I have this CD
This album has always been known as Dan Fogelberg's divorce album
It took Dan 2 years to write the songs for this album
and it is about his first wife Maggie who he was married to from 1982-1985
This is a picture of Dan and Maggie

Nothing lasts forever, I know that this is true
But I never knew how true it was 'til I was losing you
Oh maybe I'm a dreamer or maybe I'm a fool
But I never thought that love could be this careless or this cruel

You wrestle with the reasons but the reasons never rhyme
Or comfort when the heart is in decline
And it doesn't really matter if it's chance or it's design
It's gonna to take some time

Now love don't play no favorites
You know there's no one that's immune
'Cause she changes her demeanor like the phases of the moon
Oh there ain't no easy answers, you know there's only shades of grey
But when it's love or it's survival I guess you gotta get away

The days stretch on forever and the nights are so unkind
And endless when the heart is in decline
And it doesn't really matter if it's chance or it's design
It's gonna to take some time 
Ya know it's gonna to take some time 
It's gonna take some time
