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

I was mistaken
Only another stranger
That I knew.

And I thought I had found a light
To guide me through
My night and all this darkness.

I was mistaken
Only reflections of a shadow
That I saw.

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

I was mistaken
Only a child laughing
In the sun.

Ah, ah, ah ...
In the sun
