Seasons of My Love – Traditional Myrish Folk Ballad I loved a maid as fair as summer, with sunlight in her hair I loved a maid as red as autumn, with sunset in her hair I loved a maid as white as winter, with moonglow in her hair I loved a maid as spry as springtime, with blossoms in her hair As the land changes masks, so follow my maids & I Whether balmy hot and sopping wet or cutting sweet and dry Ere my life the good lords fell, I’ll prize the memory of Each and every lass I’ve held for a spell - the seasons of my love I loved a maid as wet as meadows, with dewdrops in her lips I loved a maid as thick as honey, with nectar in her lips I loved a maid as shy as snowflakes, with purple in her lips I loved a maid as fresh as seaspray, with eddies in her lips I loved a maid as strong as dreamwine, with phantoms in her eyes I loved a maid as tart as cider, with amber in her eyes I loved a maid as warm as kindling, with ember in her eyes I loved a maid as light as cotton, with lacework in her eyes One cup for every lass that I’ve held for a spell You are the seasons of my love

It’s so hard to be a woman in this world It’s so hard to be a woman in this world They will take you and they’ll break you And they’ll try to violate you It’s so hard to be a woman in this world Do you think you have a destiny Do you think you have a choice They will not give you a weapon They won’t listen to your voice It’s so hard to be a woman in this world It’s so hard to be a woman in this world Doesn’t help you to be beautiful When life’s so short and brutal It’s so hard to be a woman in this world Take a long and slender needle Start to swing it like a sword So you’ll never be a lady You can learn to be a lord It’s so hard to be a woman in this world It’s so hard to be a woman in this world You will wed the highest bidder And he’ll bed you till you wither It’s so hard to be a woman in this world

We sit in the godswood beneath the heart tree Just me and my direwolf my direwolf and me Some milk of the poppy would help ease the pain It’s not a brief tale but I’ll try to explain Go take the black said the king in the north Join the night’s watch and prepare to set forth A raven will carry a message to you Dark wings bring dark words you’ll know what to do Chorus: At the edge of the world is a wall made of ice And if you are wise you will take my advice Run for your life flee the sight of the wall For winter is coming to bury us all Blue eyes and black hands live on after death Beasts in the forest will stop all your breath You’ll need a good horse and you’ll need a good sword Your friends are all rapists and bastards and whores Try to remember a couple of things You owe your allegiance to cripples and kings (Chorus) My mother said I should not have been born Will I be redeemed by the oath I have sworn Or will I betray all that I hold most dear Will it even matter when winter is here (Chorus)

LOVE ME AN IMP He stands only so high You could easily pass him by Except for his brains and his wit On height he’s lacking but on character he’s no shrimp That’s why I love me an imp. He likes to have the things he likes Anything Lannister gold can buy Food and sex and a flagon of wine Sure he pays for sex, but he pays well, he'll never skimp, and that’s why, I love me an imp He doesn’t lie. He doesn’t take any shit. It’s just he’s used to it-- people’s small mindedness He won’t waste his time letting jerks get to him, getting his style in a crimp. He’s a much bigger imp. He’ll look for anything that’ll keep him from going to battle. He wants a tavern with good food and drink. Call him a hedonist he’s still the only one to slap that bitch (and by bitch, I mean twerp and by twerp I mean Joffrey) And that’s why.... Hot damn... Try and stop me I love me an imp. (He's got a really big personality.)
