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
As I'm sitting here doing
nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
