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 here 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
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
