Mondo Bizarre Magazine Weekend Song

Lucinda Williams – While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Good morning with Lucinda Williams cover or The Beatles’ While My Guitar Gently Weeps. While My Guitar Gently Weeps was written by George Harrison for the Beatles 1968 album The Beatles aka The White Album. Lucinda does a beautiful rendition of one of my favourite songs. Have a nice weekend.

While My Guitar Weeps

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
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 wings at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
As I’m sitting here doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps

(George Harrison)
