No One Will Ever Know歌词

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
