Sometimes it takes years
To get to know your neighbours
To get to know your neighbours
Passing each other every few days
Between shifts at work
Between shifts at work
Maybe your children play outside
And occasionally play together
And occasionally play together
Or you have the barbeque going
And they drop by to see what’s cooking
And they drop by to see what’s cooking
Maybe one day they need your help
Or maybe you need theirs
Or maybe you need theirs
The basement has flooded
Or there’s no babysitter
Or there’s no babysitter
The new couch has arrived
And it’s so very heavy
And it’s so very heavy
It gets loud at night
And there’s no party
And there’s no party
The dogs bark at everything
But you stop and talk anyway
But you stop and talk anyway
Then you plant flowers in their yard
And water them daily
And water them daily
You bake cookies with open windows
And deliver a box to their door
And deliver a box to their door
You make your excuses
And say hello and hello and hello
And say hello and hello and hello
Welcome to the neighbourhood
It’s a pleasure to meet you
It’s a pleasure to meet you
