I look at you all 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.
