1
[Verse 1]
2
What happened here
3
As the New York sunset disappeared
4
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
5
Who lived here
6
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
7
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
8
And now it all looks strange
9
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain
10
[Verse 2]
11
And what's it for
12
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
13
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
14
Who lived here
15
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
16
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
17
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
18
A gardener like that one, no-one can replace
19
[Chorus]
20
And I've been knocking but no one answers
21
And I've been knocking most all the day
22
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey hey Johnny
23
Can't you come out to play?
24
[Verse 3]
25
And through their tears
26
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
27
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
28
Who lived there
29
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
30
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
31
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
32
We hear, we hear your name
33
[Chorus]
34
And I've been knocking but no one answers
35
And I've been knocking most all the day
36
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey hey Johnny
37
Can't you come out to play?
38
[Chorus]
39
And I've been knocking but no one answers
40
And I've been knocking most all the day
41
Oh and I've been calling, oh hey hey Johnny
42
Can't you come out, can't you come out to play?
43
[Outro]
44
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
45
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
46
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
