And My Parking Space
 Lyrics and Music by Mike Krath

I saw a building go up today
In a city that didn’t need another building
And My view was blocked when I didn’t even have a window,
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
And I saw a gated park today,
In a city that had a thousand parks already.
And it was locked and required a key
And I was arrested when I tried to enter. 
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
And I wondered why I bothered
To make this place my home
When I couldn’t even manage
To make a space my own,
 
And I saw a sidewalk being built today
On a street where no one was in a hurry. 
And I heard a shout to cross the street
When there wasn’t a light to warn you. 
And my parking space,
And my parking space,
Gone. 
 
Instrumental
 
And I wondered why I bothered
To make this place my home
When I couldn’t even manage
To make a space my own,
And why a woman without a child
Walks a lonely road to find one,
Or why a man who wants a mate,
Takes all the steps to be alone. 
And why the things we want to keep,
By time and chance move on. 
It’s not like we don’t see it,
But when we do, it’s gone. 

And my parking space,
And my parking space
Gone.

A New Departure

Do You Love Me
I wrote this song back in early December.  I have sat on it since then trying to decide if I liked it enough to publish it.  I am still not sure if it deserves the light of day.  I like the chorus.  But the verse doesn't have the quality feel I desire.  Let me know.  Should I have tossed this song?

Lyrics:  Do You Love Me

Intro:
Do You Love Me

Verse 1:
You loved me once
I was not a dunce
And I still love you
And I am not blue

Sometimes I have my doubts
Days with ins and out
But maybe it’s all me
Trying not to flee

Chorus:
I am a small man
And I have my clan

Verse 2:
I am not a leader
But I am a good breeder
Just a regular guy
Who will look you in the eye

Living a normal life
With you I hope my wife
Full of insecurity
Nothing is a surety

Verse 3:
I have some confidence 
I can hold a conference
All mixed together
Sometimes light like a feather

Not sure where I stand
But when called, I can command
I can lead those in need
and help those who need freed

Outro:
Do You Love Me
