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 alerted you
I look from the wings
At the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
`Cause I`m sitting here
Doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
