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've been a gardener that cared a lot

Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop

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've 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 had said that roots grow stronger

If only he could hear

Who lived there?

He must've 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'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?
