the gnome song

I don't wanna go home Send me out to the garden to live like a gnome Let the rain wash away my paint So I can get a new coat and let go of the pain Next to the roses is where I'll live Scritch scratched by thorns until I learn how to forgive myself Moss will cover me whole Let it be the only sign I'm growin old Let the bees cover me They'll make me sweet with their golden honey This little spot of dead grass The contrast will show that I can last To move me would let the bugs beneath me die See here I'm fine I'm not fine Leave my heart by the river That's where I'll be given my sliver of hope Bury me in dirt up to my neck And let mother nature take care of the rest Flowers will grow from my soul And no longer will I be scared of getting old Or so I hope Let the roots hold me together And maybe I'll be able to handle the weather It will get better I think I found my new home Here I feel safe and no longer feel the need to roam Cause here I know It's okay to let go
