I have a woman inside my soul, Her eyes sombre and sad. She waves her hand to try to reach me, But I can't hear what she says. I wish I knew what she says, I wish I knew what she wants, I wish I knew what she says to me, I wish I knew what she means to me. I see an asphalt road inside my soul, It's pale even in a warm summer's day. It stretches into the mist and calls me, But I don't know what it takes. I wish I knew what it takes, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it gives, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it says to me, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it means to me. (I wish I knew) I see a tombstone inside my soul, It's old and mossy, covered in dead leaves. It stands with an engraving on it surface, But I don't know what it reads. I wish I knew what it reads, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it says, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it says to me, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it means to me. (I wish I knew) (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey) I feel snow covering inside my soul, It's hard and shining in shades of grey. No footsteps ever made their marks, And I don't know when it melts. I wish I knew when it melts, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew when it happens, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew if it happens at all, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it means to me. (I wish I knew) I hear a stream running inside my soul, It's cold and clear and carries a tune. But I don't know what it sings and tells, I don't know where it goes. I wish I knew what it sings, I wish I knew where it goes, I wish I knew what it sings, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew where it goes, (I wish I knew) I wish I knew what it sings. (I wish I knew) (I wish I knew) (I wish I knew) (yeah!) (I wish I knew) (I wish I knew)
