Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) Lyrics

Cover art for Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) lyrics by Elton John

I agree with bluelady that the ending is both beautiful and sweet, and I never tire of hearing that part of this song. But to me, the line that grips me shall forever be "we're crippled and we're dazed". Every song about the loss of someone dear to us is filled with sadness and fond memories, but this powerful line underscores just how tragic this murder was, and how grevious a loss it was for all of us.
