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 how 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 at you all see the love
there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
I look at you all,
Still my guitar gently weeps.
