Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) letra

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
