I look at you all
see the love is there
that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor
and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don’t know why
nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don’t know how
someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world
and I notice it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake
we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don’t know how
you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how
you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look from the wings
and the play
you're surging
While my guitsr gently weeps
As I'm sitting here
Doing nothing but leisure
Still my guitar gently weeps
