Empty Garden (hey Hey Johnny) Lyrics - Jump Up - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

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, 

Can't your come out to play, in the empty garden, Johnny. 

Johnny can't you come out to play in your empty garden
