Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)

What happened here

As the New York sunset disappeared

I found an empty garden among the flagstones thereWho lived here

He must have been a gardener that cared a lot

Who weeded out the tears and grew a good cropAnd now it all looks strange

It's funny how one insect can damage so much grainAnd what's it for

This little empty garden by the brownstone door

And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no moreWho lived here

He must have been a gardener that cared a lot

Who weeded out the tears and grew a good cropAnd we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed

A gardener like that one, no one can replaceAnd I've been knocking

But no one answers

And I've been knocking

Most all the dayOh, and I've been calling

Oh, hey hey Johnny

Can't you come out to playAnd 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 hearWho lived there

He must have been a gardener that cared a lot

Who weeded out the tears and grew a good cropNow we pray for rain and with every drop that falls

We hear, we hear your nameAnd I've been knocking

But no one answers

And I've been knocking

Most all the dayOh, and I've been calling

Oh, hey hey Johnny

Can't you come out to playAnd I've been knocking

But no one answers

And I've been knocking

Most all the dayOh, and I've been calling

Oh, hey hey Johnny

Can't you come out, can't you come out to playJohnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden

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

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