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

I was mistaken
It was only another stranger
That I knew

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

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

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

I was mistaken
It was only a very small child
Laughing in the sun
In the sun
