    Story Behind the Song
    Written from my observations of the evolution of relationships.

    Lyrics
    Slidin through another morning
    A little gray - a little rain
    It slips away without a warning
    And then the evening goes the same

    She stays at home and does the laundry
    Hes nine to five for fifty-two
    They know theyll always stay together
    Cause what else would they do?

    And the seasons fly, And the children grow
    And all those thoughts of someday, All safely put away
    Forever I suppose
    And so it falls, And so it goes
    The years give up their best, Two lives will come to rest
    At the angle of repose

    They say I love you every night
    But they touch so seldom anymore
    From when the kids were young and restless
    Theyre still afraid to close the door

    And when the last ones gone away
    Theres no surprise, they always knew
    He takes her hand across the table
    And says, Now what will we do?

    Whenever love finds equilibrium
    All commotion slows
    A lifetime is barely minimum

    They say for some its horizontal
    Its when they both rest in the grave
    But I believe it is the angle
    We lean on each other day to day

    And the seasons fly, And the children grow
    And all those thoughts of someday, All safely put away
    Forever I suppose
    And so it falls, And so it goes
    The years give up their best, Two lives will come to rest
    At the angle of repose

    The years gave up their best, Two lives have come to rest
    At the angle of repose
