i pass
in a ship of dreams
look!
you mustn't betray yourself
you mustn't let me know
that you don't care
if the crime is never known
then it was never committed
and you must be innocent
fool me with your smile
take me in with your sweet wiles
don't ever let me know
that the hand holding me
would drop me
if i weren't looking
what i don't know
may never hurt me
what you never say
cannot undo you
when i say i love you
smile
so i won't notice the silence
kiss me quickly
before i realize my fears
and don't let go of my hand
so i won't feel the push away
when it is time for separation
of heart and dreams
strike quickly
so no defense may be raised
to protect that which must die
when i stumble in
unexpected
hide the knife in your smile
so i won't see it coming
i pass
(but don't worry) i look away
so you won't have to lie
or see my tears
the river i sail on
