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 at you all
See the love
There that's sleeping
While my guitar
Gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar
Gently weeps
