This is a freebie because I don’t think it quite works on any of the blog hops I’ve been participating in, but I wanted to share it and since it’s BookBub week for ‘Security Binds Her’ I need some solid distraction so I don’t freak out. There’s a scene in ‘Taken by the Enemy’ where our heroine, Emmie, gets drunk and starts to sing. I wanted her to sing a folk-type song but couldn’t find one I liked… so I wrote one.
Here it is (it helps if you sing it like you’re drunk, at least, it helped me when I was writing it!)
“Oh, once I was a little blackbird,
a merry blackbird was I.
I flew o’er hills, and I flew o’er seas,
and I flew free where my wings took me.
Yet, wherever I went,
no matter how the time spent,
I never could feel alive.
Cause wherever I went,
in the rain or the sun,
no one ever flew beside me.
Then one day I flew o’er
a sweet little house,
and I heard a voice call to me.
Oh little black bird, please come sing for me,
so I settled at her window.
Now you might ask,
how a girl made me happier,
than the wind and all of the trees?
But I say you never met a lass such as this,
and by golly, how she could kiss!”
