While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Montreux 1997) Songtext

von Jeff Healey Band

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
From every mistake, we must surely be learning
And 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
