While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Melancholy Reflections: Love, Mistakes, and the Gently Weeping Guitar
Lyrics
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
I observe everyone and perceive the dormant love.
While my guitar gently weeps
My guitar expresses sorrow or emotion while remaining gentle.
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
I glance at the floor and recognize the need for cleaning.
Still my guitar gently weeps
Despite this, my guitar continues to express a subdued sadness.
I don't know why nobody told you
I am unsure why no one has advised or guided you.
How to unfold your love
Instructions on how to reveal and share your love are lacking.
I don't know how someone controlled you
I am uncertain about the influence someone exerted over you.
They bought and sold you
It seems you were manipulated and traded as if a commodity.
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
Observing the world, I notice its continuous rotation.
While my guitar gently weeps
Simultaneously, my guitar expresses melancholy.
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Through every mistake, there is an opportunity for learning.
Still my guitar gently weeps
Yet, my guitar persists in conveying a gentle sense of sorrow.
I don't know how you were diverted
I am uncertain how you got distracted from your path.
You were perverted too
There was also a corruption or distortion in your journey.
I don't know how you were inverted
Furthermore, there was an unexpected alteration in your course.
No one alerted you
No one warned or informed you about this deviation.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
I, once again, observe the latent love in everyone.
While my guitar gently weeps
Meanwhile, my guitar continues to express a subdued emotion.
Look at you all...
This line is a repetition of the observation made in line #21.
Still my guitar gently weeps
Despite the repetition, my guitar still conveys a gentle sense of sorrow.
