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


Johnny can’t you come out to play in your empty
garden
