Lyrics Marissa Nadler

Marissa Nadler

Leather Made Shoes

Mayflower was a girl

Who came from my room

With a box of faded feathers

And her leather made shoes

But you know when she goes

She’ll be crying

Cause she died all alone

With her feathers and bows

I was just a lonely thing

When I met Mr. Bear

And he loved his sleeping next to me

And in his eyes I stared

But you know when he goes

He’ll be crying

Cause he died all alone

With his feather and bows

Mary Mary Mayflower

And John Lee all came

On the day that I died

Upon the spring

The day his wedding came

But you know

When I go I’ll be crying

Cause I died all alone with my feathers and bows

Don’t you know when she goes she’ll be crying

Cause a love that has died is a sad sad thing

Mayflower way a girl

Who came from my room

With a box of faded feathers and

Her leather made shoes

But you know when she goes

She’ll by crying

Cause a love that has died

Is a sad sad thing
