Elton John - Empty Garden текст песни

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album jump up

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

Its funny how one insect can damage so much grain

And whats 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 were crippled and were dazed

A gardener like that one no one can replace

And Ive been knocking but no one answers

And Ive been knocking most all the day

Oh and Ive been calling oh hey hey johnny

Cant you come out to play

And through their tears

Some say he farmed his best in younger years

But hed 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

Johnny cant you come out to play in your empty garden
