While my guitar gently weeps

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 me

I look, at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

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
