  1. [Him] Sweetheart, I'm leaving on the train heading east. In a flowery town I'm going to look and look for a gift for you.

    [Her] No, I don't want anything but just a picture postcard of the city. Don't get stained, just hurry back. Don't get stained, just hurry back.

    [Him] Sweetheart, it's been six months. I can't see you but please don't cry. It's very chic in the city. I'll send you a ring, it'll look good on you.

    [Her] No, no diamond from a star or pearl from the sea would be as good as your kiss, something that shouldn't sparkle, something that shouldn't sparkle.

    [Him] Sweetheart, you're not made up! You're not even wearing lipstick! You could be mistaken for me in my suit! The photo! See the photo!!

    [Her] No, I'm going to lie down in the grass. I liked you but trees die in the city. Take care of yourself. Take care of yourself.

    [Him] Sweetheart, I've forgotten you. I'm changing, please forgive me. I'm happy every day on the corner where I stay. I'm… I'm not going back.

    [Her] I'll be selfish one last time and ask you for a gift: to wipe my tears with cotton. A handkerchief, please. A handkerchief, please.
