Liner Notes

We always jokingly call on the "parking witch" to help us find a spot on a crowded street. Of course it's all in fun, but after we found a particularly good space yesterday I wonder... As we walked to lunch I thought the parking witch deserved a song of their own. #guywithpiano #parking #spooky

Lyrics

I never believed in the magical
Preferred to be grounded in the real
Trusting in what I see around me
Solid like the road beneath my wheels
But on a crowded street
or shopping center lot
I'll make a supernatural pitch
A plea for assistance to powers unknown
I call upon the parking witch

I don't think they look like the storybooks
I don't think they're riding on a broom
Maybe they're standing on a Segway
Gliding like a spirit through the gloom
They don't need pointed hats
or cauldrons filled with newts
That's all a bunch of Hollywood kitsch
I know when I need it a space appears
A blessing from the parking witch

I haven't abandoned the logical
The science, the evidence and facts
But finding that spot beside the doorway
Surely seems like some mysterious act
I know there's no-one there
It's all a little joke
But now and then I sense a small glitch
A warp in the landscape that stops me cold
A message from the parking witch

I love your turn of phrase the way the lyric winds around searching and the finally settles with the rhymed couplet. Perfect for this song, it’s genius!

the sound you are getting from the electric piano is perfect for this story. after circling a block for a dozen times, wishing for a spot to open up, on those rare times one one actually does, you may well believe in a parking witch. some fine writing here and i like your vocal delivery as well.
