I thought I met a man
Who said he knew a man
Who knew what was going on

I was mistaken
Was only another stranger
That I knew

I thought I'd found a light
To guide me through my night
And all this damn darkness yes, yes ...

I was mistaken
Was only a reflection of a shadow
That I saw

And I thought I'd seen someone
Who seemed at last
To know the truth

I was mistaken
Was only a very small child laughing
In the sun

Ah, ah, ah ...
In the sun
