Song structure and lyrics:

intro + fig 1..

verse 1:

(play fig 1):
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

(play fig 2 x2):
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

verse 2:

(play fig 1 x1,5)
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine, all mine

(play fig 2 x2)
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

chorus (play fig 3 x4):
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

bridge (play fig 4):

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

guitar solo (play fig 1 and fig 2 x2)..

chorus..

guitar solo (play fig 1)..

verse 3:

(play fig 1):
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame

(play fig 2 x2):
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

outro (play fig 5):

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
