Empty Garden - Elton John and John Lennon....

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 an 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
In your Empty Garden....

A fitting song for all the gardeners on this website....

Love Laceygirl... :-)

its ok i guess. hes got plenty of other better songs imo. i dunno wether to like it alot or hate it outright. seems kind of anti christ to me. but then again i guess you could say i havent been leading christ like life existence either. who knows really....about god period

then again he is gay and if i was gay and there was a popular book out there that talked about killing, burning, etc gays i would make songs that would denounce that book. so rock on i guess \m/
