I look at you ,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 winds at the play you are segent
while my guitar gently weeps
As I am sitting here
Till nothing the legend
Still my guitar gently weeps
