For all the time spent in that room The doll's house darkness old perfume And fairy stories held me high up On clouds of sunlight floating by Oh Mother tell me more Tell me more...

THE GNOME I want to tell you a story 'Bout a little Man if I can A gnome named Grimble Gromble And little gnomes stay in their homes Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine He wore a scarlet tunic A blue-green hood, it looked quite good He had a big adventure Amidst the grass, fresh air at last Wining, dining, biding his time... And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Ooh my... Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Winding, finding places to go And then one day Hooray, another way for gnomes to say Ooh my Ooh my...

He stood in a field where barley grows. His head did no thinking his arms didn't move Except when the wind cut up rough And mice ran around on the ground He stood in a field where barley grows The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me But now he's resigned to his fate 'Cause life's not unkind He doesn't mind He stood in a field where barley grows.
