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 of 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 of 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 of the day
Oh and I've been calling...
Oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out?
Can 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
Johnny
Can't you come out to play in your empty garden...
