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)
