Empty Garden (hey, Hey Johnny)

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

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 you come out to play

Johnny, 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
