Yoko Ono - I Have A Woman Inside My Soul

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 what it gives
I wish I knew what it says to me
I wish I knew what it means to me.

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 what it says
I wish I knew what it says to me
I wish I knew what it means to me.

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 when it happens
I wish I knew if it happens at all
I wish I knew what it means to me.

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 where it goes
I wish I knew what it sings.

From the Yoko Ono album 'Approximately Infinite Universe'.

Approximately Infinite Universe is a double album by Yoko Ono, released in early 1973. It represents a departure from the experimental avant-garde rock of her first two albums towards a more conventional pop/rock sound, while also dabbling in feminist rock.

The 1997 CD re-issue on Rykodisc added two acoustic demos of songs from this era that were later released on 1981's Season of Glass.
