Gifts from the Sea

	作词 : Rod McKuen
	Do see how easily we fit together
	As if God's own hand had cradled only us?
	And this beach town's population were but two
	And this wide bed was but a child's cradle?
	With room enough leftover for presents
	Tomorrow, I'll buy you presents
	Pomegranates and bread sticks
	Tickets 'round the room and back
	And red, red roses like everybody buys everybody
	Everybody's got a diamond ring and Sunday shoes
	Neckties and petticoats
	Pistols and tennis balls
	Everybody gets a sandwich sometimes
	And a piece of cake
	And ice cream if they're nice
	But we've got us
	I found a twenty dollar bill once when I was maybe ten
	I bought a cardboard circus and a fountain pen and a jack-knife
	Because I'd never had one before
	My mother thought I'd stolen the money
	But she checked around
	And she believed me when I bought her perfume from the Dime Store
	I was rich in those days
	For a week, I had everything
	I wish I'd known you then
