Elton John (Empty Garden)




 



What happened here

As the New York sunset disappearedI found an empty garden among the flagstones thereWho lived hereHe must have been a gardener that cared a lotWho weeded out the tears and grew a good cropAnd now it all looks strangeIt's funny how one insect can damage so much grain
And what's it forThis little empty garden by the brownstone doorAnd in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no moreWho lived hereHe must have been a gardener that cared a lotWho weeded out the tears and grew a good cropAnd we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazedA gardener like that one no one can replace
And I've been knocking but no one answersAnd I've been knocking most of the dayOh and I've been calling, oh hey hey JohnnyCan't you come out to play
And through their tearsSome say he farmed his best in younger yearsBut he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hearWho lived thereHe must have been a gardener that cared a lotWho weeded out the tears and grew a good cropNow we pray for rain, and with every drop that fallsWe hear, we hear your name
And I've been knocking but no one answersAnd I've been knocking most of the dayOh and I've been calling, oh hey hey JohnnyCan't you come out to play
And I've been knocking but no one answersAnd I've been knocking most all the dayOh and I've been calling, oh hey hey JohnnyCan't you come out, can you come out to play, JohnnyCan't you come out to play in your empty garden, JohnnyCan't you come out to play in your empty garden, JohnnyCan't you come out to play in your empty garden, JohnnyCan't you come out to play in your empty garden, JohnnyCan't you come out to play in your empty garden, JohnnyCan't you come out to play in your empty garden, Johnny

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared?
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door?
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one, no one can replace

And I've been knocking, but no one answers
And I've been knocking, most all the day
Oh, and I've been calling, oh, hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play?

And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he could hear
Who lived there?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name

And I've been knocking, but no one answers
And I've been knocking, most all the day
Oh and I've been calling, oh, hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play

Johnny?
Can't you come out to play, in your empty garden?
