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 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 Johnny can t you come out to play in your empty garden |
