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