Songs of Icewind Dale (3)

[Ladellon]

You’ve Stitched Up the Seams of My Heart

Oh, I’d set forth and flown to the north
City life’s got no allure for me.
My heart was rent, leaving me in torment
My love was threadbare, you see.

In utter anguish I’d simply languish
To deal with my own esteem mess,
But then I was cured, my sorrow obscured,
When I met Bryn Shander’s seamstress.

Oh, Cilendi, your needle and thread
Has captured my love from the start.
Now we’re intertwined and I don’t mind
‘Cause you’ve stitched up the seams of my heart.

I don’t doubt it - she’s making an outfit -
Her hands move with skill and with grace.
Though here I am frozen, it’s her that I’ve chosen -
I’ll never take leave of this place!

Oh, Cilendi, your needle and thread
Has captured my love from the start.
Now we’re intertwined and I don’t mind
‘Cause you’ve stitched up the seams of my heart.

I was twitched up, it seems, from the start,
But you’ve stitched up the seams of my heart.

Oh, I’d pitched all my dreams from the cart,
But you’ve came along, and I’ll sing my song
Oh, you’ve stitched up the seams of my heart.
You’ve stitched up the seams of my heart.


Scrimshaw!

Scrimshaw! Scrimshaw! Scrimshaw!
Cut from the frame of the knucklebone fish!
Although the meat makes a pleasing dish,
It’s only the carving
That keeps us from starving.
So, it remains our ceaseless wish
To see their tails go swish, swish, swish.
Provide the catch and we will furnish . . .
Scrimshaw! Scrimshaw! Scrimshaw!


Ogden’s Leather

If you are looking for some hide
To warm you when you go outside
I know a place that can provide . . .
The finest products in the north.

If packs and satchels are your need
To stow the objects of your greed
I know a place where it’s agreed . . .
Hurry now, let’s sally forth.

Come let us go together!
Don’t make me use a tether!
We’ll visit Ogden’s Leather!
And purchase something for this dreadful weather!

It’s belts and boots that make us whole -
Protect us when we’re on patrol.
I know a place – a nearby stroll . . .
Service is fine and will never stop.

It even stocks the latest wear
Replacing clothes that have a tear
I know a place so don’t despair . . .
Let’s go before he closes shop.

It doesn’t matter whether
You’ve come o’er crags or heather!
We’ll visit Ogden’s Leather!
And purchase something for this dreadful weather!

Come, let us purchase something for this weather!
