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
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
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
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
AND NOW
WE PRAY FOR RAIN
AND WITH EVERY DROP
THAT FALLS
WE HEAR
WE HEAR YOUR NAME
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
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
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
