Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) - Remastered 2003

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 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

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?
