Lyrics excerpt:
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
Reasons to love this song:
Leather Made Shoes is the eleventh, final track on Songs III: Birds On the Water. For me it was the first song on the album I fell in love with (I was surprised to see, on the last.fm page for the album, that it was its least-listened-to track.) I assume -- although I might be completely wrong about this -- that the Mayflower from this song is the same person she sings about in Mayflower May (The Saga of Mayflower May, 2005): without a friend, without a lover, without a care, Mayflower walked away, away towards the air; and that Mayflower is, along with other characters Nadler sings about, inspired by toys she played with as a child.
