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)
