No One Will Ever Know歌词完整版
No one will ever know
By janet seever
Karen
Judy and I were the last ones back in the school room after lunch
We put our metal lunch boxes on the shelf above the coat hooks
Which were mostly empty
All of the other sixth graders were already outside
Playing marbles or hop scotch or jumping rope
Since it was a pleasant spring day
Look what I found this morning in the storage cupboard
When I was getting out some art supplies for mrs
Eiffler
With a conspiratorial grin on her face
Karen held up a wooden box filled with short pieces of chalk in every color of the rainbow
Wow
What fun it would be to write on the chalkboard while everyone is outside
Judy's eyes twinkled with anticipation
But mrs
Eiffler doesn't want us writing on the chalkboard
I responded
Already feeling guilty
Although we had not yet done a thing
Don't be such a 'fraidy cat'
Janet
No one will ever know
Said karen
Reaching into the box and drawing out a piece of chalk
Right
Everyone is outside
So we're safe
No one will tell on us
Judy was already drawing a house with sure strokes
I reluctantly joined my friends in the artwork
Wanting to be part of what was going on
But afraid of being caught
I knew well that we were breaking not one
But two class rules
The second rule was that no one was allowed to stay inside at noon
Without a written excuse from home if the weather was nice
Trying various colors
We drew houses
Trees and three dimensional boxes
It was fun
All the time we were watching the clock
Knowing that our fun would be over if anyone walked into the room
Then judy had an idea
We're all right handed
Let's see who can write their name best using their left hand
Judy and karen picked up their chalk and started writing
I chose a white piece from the box and wrote my name
The handwriting was a bit shaky
But no one would doubt that it said janet
I think judy is the winner
Said karen
Hers is the best
We'd better get this board cleaned off before mrs
Eiffler comes back
Said judy
Eying the clock
She picked up an eraser and began erasing our handiwork from the board
Everything came off
But my name
In disbelief
I looked at the chalk I held in my sweaty hand
On closer examination
It wasn't chalk at all
I had picked up a small piece of white color crayon
Which was mixed in with the pieces of chalk
My stomach churned and my knees felt weak
What would mrs
Eiffler do to me
My mother had a saying:
Fools' names and fools' faces always appear in public places
I never understood fully what it meant before
Now I did
I was a fool
And there was my name in crayon to prove it
And the teacher would be returning soon
Quick
Let's get some wet paper towels
Said judy
Springing into action
After vigorous rubbing
My name still remained
I think I saw a can of cleanser by the sink in the coat room
I said as I raced to find it
Precious minutes were ticking away
We rubbed and my name came off all right
But in the process of removing it
We left an abrasion on the chalkboard
Listening for footsteps coming down the hall
We dried the scrubbed area as much as we could with more paper towels
And fanned it with a book to remove every tell tale trace of wetness
We were just slipping into our desks as the bell rang
And the other students began entering the room
The teacher walked in soon afterward
Mrs
Eiffler never asked about abrasion and maybe never noticed it
But I did
Every time I walked past the marred surface of the chalkboard
I remembered
Oh
How I remembered
The lesson I learned that day is one I never forgot
Even though over forty years have passed since the event
No one will ever know
Is never true
Even if no one else found out
I myself knew
Sometimes living with a guilty conscience is punishment enough
