| 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 | 
| Its pale even in a warm summers day | 
| It stretches into the mist and calls me | 
| But I dont 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 | 
| Its old and mossy, covered in dead leaves | 
| It stands with an engraving on it surface | 
| But I dont 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 | 
| Its hard and shining in shades of grey | 
| No footsteps ever made their marks | 
| And I dont 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 | 
| Its cold and clear and carries a tune | 
| But I dont know what it sings and tells | 
| I dont 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) |
