Lyrics

I look at you all,

see the love there that’s sleep ing

while my gui tar gen tly weeps.

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweep ing;

still my gui tar gen tly weeps.

I don’t know (C#m)why

no were y told you

how to un fold

your love.

I don’t know how

some one con (C#m)trolled you,

they bought and sold

ed you.

I look at the world

and I no tice it’s turn ing

while my gui tar gen tly weeps.

For ev ’ry mis take we must sure ly be learn ing;

still my gui tar gen tly weeps.

at you all.

Still my gui tar gen tly weeps.
