While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Exploring Love's Pain Through Melodic Strings
Lyrics
I look at you all
I observe all of you
See the lover that's sleeping
See the lover who is peacefully resting
While my guitar gently weeps
Meanwhile, my guitar expresses sadness or melancholy
I look at the floor
I direct my attention to the ground
and I see it needs sweeping
And I notice that it requires cleaning
Still my guitar gently weeps
Still, my guitar continues to convey a sense of sorrow
I don't know why nobody told you
I am puzzled as to why nobody informed you
How to unfold your love
About how to reveal or express your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
I am uncertain about how someone exerted control over you
They bought and sold you
They manipulated and traded you
I look at the world
I shift my focus to the world at large
And I notice it's turning
And I realize that it is in a state of constant change
While my guitar gently weeps
Yet, my guitar continues to express sorrow
With every mistake
Despite every error or misstep
We must surely be learning
We must surely be gaining wisdom from these experiences
Still my guitar gently weeps
Still, my guitar maintains its melancholic tone
I don't know how you were diverted
I am unsure how you got diverted from your path
You were perverted too
You were also corrupted or led astray
I don't know how you were inverted
I don't know how you were turned inside out
No one alerted you
No one warned you about it
I look from the wings
I observe from a distance
At the play you are staging
The drama or events that you are orchestrating
While my guitar gently weeps
While my guitar continues to express sadness
'Cause I'm sitting here
Because I am here
Doing nothing but aging
Doing nothing but getting older
Still my guitar gently weeps
Still, my guitar maintains its melancholic tone
