Lemon Pipers Shoemaker of Leatherwear Square lyrics

shoemaker shoemaker of leatherwear square
carve me a pair of shoes that I can wear
I will be traveling to far off places
searching for true love among all the faces

He pulled out his needle and spool of golden thread
and put them together the needle was fed
round petal soft cushions and gossamer wings
he stitched them together with Cupid's bow strings

I am the shoemaker of leatherwear square
and I know exactly why you have come here
others have been here before it is true
my craft is the best I will make them for you


he polished them with silver and they began to shine
he placed them in my hands at last the shoes were all mine
I am so grateful to get shoes in every way
but before I closed the door I heard the shoemaker say

I am the shoemaker of leatherwear square
and I know exactly why you have come here
others have been here before it is true
my craft is the best, finding love's up to you
