Dno3 (riff 2x)
mmmm
And I thought that I’d found the light Dno3 D(no3) (n.c.)
To guide me through my nights and all my darkness
I was mistaken, it was only reflections of a shadow that I saw
Ooooh, mmmm
And I thought that I’d seen someone who seemed
At last to know the truth
I was mistaken, it was only a child laughing in the sun
Mmmmm, mmmmm
