Empty Garden

What happened hereAs the New York sunset disappearedI found an empty gardenAmong the flagstones thereWho lived hereHe must have been a gardenerThat cared a lotWho weeded out the tearsAnd grew a good cropAnd now it all looks strangeIt's funny how one insectCan damage so much grainAnd what's it forThis little empty gardenBy the brownstone doorAnd in the cracks along the sidewalkNothing grows no moreWho lived hereHe must have been a gardenerThat cared a lotWho weeded out the tearsAnd grew a good cropAnd we are so amazed,We're crippled and we're dazedA gardener like that one,No one can replaceAnd I've been knockingBut no one answersAnd I've been knockingMost all the dayOh, and I've been callingOh, hey hey johnnyCan't you come out to playAnd through their tearsSome say he farmedHis best in younger yearsBut he'd have said that roots grow strongerIf only he could hearWho lived thereHe must have been a gardenerThat cared a lotWho weeded out the tearsAnd grew a good cropNow we pray for rainAnd with every drop that fallsWe hear, we hear your nameAnd I've been knockingBut no one answersAnd I've been knockingMost all the dayOh, and I've been callingOh, hey hey JohnnyCan't you come out to playAnd I've been knockingBut no one answersAnd I've been knockingMost all the dayOh, and I've been callingOh, hey hey johnnyCan't you come out,can't you come out to playJohnny, can't you come out to playIn your empty gardenJohnny, can't you come out to playIn your empty gardenJohnny, can't you come out to playIn your empty garden...
