Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) Lyrics

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 Of 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 Of 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 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, Johnny
