Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 Now it all looks strange It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain [Verse 2] And what's it for? This little empty garden by the brownstone door And in the cracks along the sidewalk, nothin' 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 knockin', but no one answers And I've been knockin' most all the day Oh, and I've been callin', "Oh, hey, hey, Johnny" Can't you come out to play? [Verse 2] 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 there? 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 [Chorus] And I've been knockin', but no one answers And I've been knockin' most of the day Oh, and I've been callin', "Oh, hey, hey, Johnny" Can't you come out to play? [Chorus] And I've been knockin', but no one answers And I've been knockin' most of the day Oh, and I've been callin', "Oh, hey, hey, Johnny" Can't you come out? Can you come out to play? [Outro] 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?
