Lyrics:
Lament to me my love you found me
Still among the trees for me
Lament my heart it’s broken further
Veins they splinter through leaves for me
You and I were Tallshanks too tangled
Rising above the sea of leaves
Our fruit was so sweet and our flowers were blooming
Poison to all but each other

Lyrics:
-Chorus-
Give me a chart and I’ll sing you a story
A story of sailors that sailed here before
They forged the pathways that all of us follow
So follow with caution but sail them with joy
-Singer A-
Read not the chart for the arrows and dashes
the dashes are foolish, the arrows are lies
-Singer B-

Lady Patience Bitcherton has unwed daughters, nosy neighbors, awful country cousins, and now, a body to hide. Will the Bitcherton’s keep their secrets from the pages of Lady Bigg-Withers gossip sheet? Or will her pen skewer their good name forever?

Callous & Song - by J Strautman, Brian Flaherty, and BE/HOLD
Lyrics:
[solo]
We've sailed through the waves with a hole in our hull
We've dined on just twig sap and shoes
[refrain]
and shoes!
[solo]
We've filled up our engine with bees to half full
Oh, the sea she cares not if we win or we lose
