voices from the arroyo



In the Shoe Shop                    
by Nathan Spooner


They were living on a shoe-string
They were way up in Alaska
And they always knew for certain,
Lovin’ how it makes you sing

Write a jingle for a shoe shop
Change the baby now it’s morning.
Won’t you try to write a song for
All the ways you want to sing.

Walking by the Family Shoe Store
And it’s way up in Alaska
And if you walk inside and ask him,
He just might begin to sing.

At the changing of the seasons
As the days are getting longer
Still we’re living on a shoe-string,
And my love begins to sing.

Nathan Spooner

Juneau, Alaska 1978 in my friend's shoe shop.  
It will be the second song on an album of
acoustic music in production (Other Nomads).
