Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watch him through my kitchen window
Moving slow across his yard
In ninety-degree weather
He's bundled up so hard
[Chorus]
My neighbor Paul shovels snow in summer
Never seen him wear anything but sweaters
[Verse 2]
He leaves wet footprints at the mailbox
Even when the ground is dry
Drinks hot chocolate in July
Says he can't stand the heat outside
Kids on the block keep asking questions
About his thick white beard and size
[Chorus]
My neighbor Paul shovels snow in summer
Says it helps him feel at home down here
[Bridge]
Sometimes late at night I hear him
Singing songs in languages unknown
And I wonder if I'm crazy
'Cause I swear the air turns cold
When he waves at me and smiles
I feel less alone
[Verse 3]
Maybe we're both out of place here
Looking for somewhere to belong
He keeps my secrets, I keep his
And we get along
[Chorus]
My neighbor Paul shovels snow in summer
And I help him clear the paths each year
