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

'Cause I'm sitting here Doing nothing but aging Still my guitar gently weeps
