I look at you all, see the love 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 altered you.
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 at the play you are staging,
While my guitar gently weeps.
As I'm sitting here, doing nothing but aging,
Still, my guitar gently weeps.
