Music to Think - Changes



November Rain

Guns N' Roses

Axl Rose
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darling when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold november rain
We've been through this such a long, long time
Just trying to kill the pain, oh yeah
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
An no one's really sure
Who's letting go today walking away
If I could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowing that you were mine, all mine
So if you want to love me
Then darling don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walking
In the cold november rain
Do you need some time... on your own
Do you need some time... all alone
Everybody needs sometime... on their own
Don't you know you need sometime... all alone
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
Sometimes I need some time... on my own
Sometimes I need some time... all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time... all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So nevermind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Even cold november rain
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




Old Friend

Renato Russo

 Nancy Ford/Gretchen Cryer
Everytime I've lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And say let's get together
I'm under the weather
Another love has suddenly come to an end
And he listens as I tell him my sad story
And wonders at my taste in men
And we wonder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And he laughs and says: "You'll do it again !"
And we sit in a bar and talk till two
'Bout life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
How love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
And I ask him if his life is ever lonely
And if he ever feels despair
And he says he's learned to love it
'Cause that's really a part of it
And it helps him feel the good times when they're there
And we wonder if I'll live with any lover
Or spend my life alone
And the bartender is dozing
And it's getting time for closing
So we figure that I'll make it on my own
But we'll meet the year we're sixty-two
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
How love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
