he said go round the back way he said avoid the road more traveled he said hold tight to your smile when it s dark outside and you so fragile you won t see the ground but it will rise beneath you are steady on your feet until it hits you in the teeth you will know it when you ve gone too far your sight grows dim and narrow you cannot see the stars above you they love you in their far away way they ask you sincerely to stay she said look up once in a while she said remember things that always remain blossoms in the spring birds remember to sing and you will do the same buildings hurtle by the train as you ride you don t know where you don t know why all you can do is dry your eyes cry like a little child sometimes it takes a while to be born
