Empty Garden

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones ther
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

[Chorus]
And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most of the day
Oh and I've been calling- 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
And now we pray for rain
And with every drop that falls, we hear.
We hear your name

[Chorus] X 2
And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most of the day
Oh and I've been calling- hey hey Johnny!
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
In your empty garden
Johnny-
can't you come out to play in your empty garden?
In your empty garden
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
In your empty garden
Johhny-
can't you come out to play?

In your empty garden
