[Verse 1]

I thought I met a man

Who said he knew a man

Who knew what was going on

[Refrain]

I was mistaken

Only another stranger

That I knew

[Verse 2]

And I thought that I'd found a light

To guide me through

My night and all this darkness

[Refrain]

I was mistaken

Only reflections of a shadow

That I saw

[Verse 3]

And I thought I've seen someone

Who seemed at last

To know the truth

[Refrain]

I was mistaken

Only a child laughing

In the sun
