## Lyrics

There's no heart

Yeah, I wanna live again

And can't delay it no, no, no

No, you've got no heart

I try to sleep but I think a lot

I'm driving streets that just never stop

When you know there's gonna be

When you know there's gonna be no more shows

When there's no goals

Yeah, I wanna live again

Can't delay it no, no, no

No, you've got no soul

## Lyrics

Charm's in limited supply

And refusing to stretch

That indefinable nothing

Somehow keeps pushing you

Finding the right words

Can be a problem

How many times must it be said

There's no plan

It had to happen

Got to move on sometime

And it's about time

By putting one foot in front of another

And repeating the process

Cross over the street

You're free to change your mind

Strength through diversity

Couldn't have put it more plainly

Got to move on sometime

Got to move on sometime

Got to move on sometime

Got to move on sometime

Charm's in limited supply

Under threat of extinction

That indefinable nothing

Somehow motivates you

Finding the right words

Can be a problem

How many times must it be said

There's no plan

It had to happen

Got to move on sometime

And it's about time

By putting one foot in front of another

And repeating the process

Cross over the street

You're free to change your mind

Strength through diversity

Couldn't have put it more plainly

Got to move on sometime

Would you leave it alone

This is no contest

If you track it at home

Play it like Lawless

There's nothing wrong with a second try

To see just what you're made of

There's nothing wrong with another try

So this is what you came for

My worthless labor?

Could you leave it alone

This is not for needles

If you track it at home

Sing it like Davies

## Lyrics

Tragedy likes trouble

I get the feeling that you want double

There's something evil in what you say

You need the needful, an honest trade

So now it's done, I won't lie

The dumb have won

So how it's done, I won't lie

The mission is accomplished

So leave out the long list

So I put in to travel

And got my hands full, so full of trouble

There's something evil when it's double

They leave the needy while others wait

There's something evil
West Coast Friendship

## Lyrics

Where's all of our friends

So you said things you never meant

And you just leave

That part of myself

These are the best days of our lives

These are the best days of our lives

Crazy as it seems

Where's all of our friends

Things were better then, we never met

And you just leave

That part of myself

These are the best days of our lives

These are the best days of our lives

Crazy as it seems

Crazy as it seems

These are the best days of our lives

Crazy as it seems

You Don't Miss Me

## Lyrics

When you're walking in the dark

I fear you're coming back

You keep taking everything

Ruining the scene

You don't miss me like so long ago

You don't miss me like so long ago

Like so long ago

All we talk about is vain

What about the name

You keep taking everything

Ruining the scene

You don't miss me like so long ago

You don't miss me like so long ago

Like so long ago

So long ago

You don't miss me... So long

You don't miss me... So long

You don't miss me... So long

You don't miss me... So long

## Lyrics

Convince a mystic

On how they missed it

I've got some birds for

Another hat trick

So if you murmur

About a movement

You moved a mountain

And made a big dent

So don't try, you'll lose your control

It's never easy to be me

Don't try, you'll lose your control

Who said it's easy? Who said it's easy?

So am I fragile

about my vision?

I never asked for

an opinion
Mischief in Mayfair

The long years of war on the Continent are finally over, and all these men want is a life of peaceful obscurity. War has changed them, though, and they don’t fit into Polite Society’s waltzing, wagering, wenching mold, if they ever did. Each man must rediscover himself if he’s to rebuild his dreams, and that will mean fighting one last battle—for the heart of a very special lady! Early books focus on soldiers and those effected by war, while later books branch out to other characters.
Wake Up Early

### Appears on:

## Lyrics

Step down with the nowhere plans

I get up early like a birdie

I got your name, you got my number

I travel light, no time for slumber

The living is lucky

Try to get it somewhere

It gets you nowhere fast

It's just uneasy

Try to get it somewhere

It gets you nowhere

It gets you nowhere fast

Touch down because you need it always

Like a birdie I wake up early

I got your name, you got my number

Travel light, I never slumber
When You Feel Miserable

## Lyrics

Time waits for no one

But you, I'd wait for so long

But I still fear the times

You're not the woman you appear

Take a walk with a sweet girl

So sweet you know it's true

But you're wasting away

I just wish it would stay

Take a walk down a highway, down my way

Take a walk when you feel miserable

One day you'll find

Your eyes with a woman who might

But could you still fill the day

If you ran out of me?

Take a walk down a highway, down my way

Take a walk when you feel miserable

Good times for a change

See, the luck I've had

Can make a good man

Haven't had a dream in a long time

See, the life I've had

Can make a good man bad

So for once in my life

Let me get what I want

Lord knows it would be the first time

Lord knows it would be the first time

Hadrian was friends with the Portmaines years ago when the family suffered a tragedy and undeserved scandal.

It is now published along with Morgan and Archer in *The Windham Family Duet*, available at all book retailers (and on Grace's website here.↗️)

## Author's description

Jonathan Dolan, a wealthy Irish quarry nabob, has done the unthinkable for an otherwise sensible widower and fallen in love with his daughter’s governess. If he’s to win the heart of proper, pretty Miss Amy Ingraham, Jonathan must turn to his former brother-in-law, the Marquess of Deene, to help him woo the lady. Despite Deene’s willingness to aid the course of true love, Jonathan must be clever, determined, and– above all else–honorable if he’s to win not only Amy’s hand, but also the respect of a society only too willing to judge him harshly.

## Publisher's description

Widower Jonathan Dolan knows how to work hard, make money, and dote on his daughter Georgina, but his humble Irish antecedents have not prepared him for the challenge of wooing Amy Ingraham, Georgina's elegant, genteel governess. Just as Amy begins to evidence a shy pleasure in Jonathan's overtures, a distant cousin turns up claiming that Amy is obligated to marry him. Jonathan must be clever, determined, and above all else honorable if he's to win not only Amy's hand, but the respect of a society only too willing to judge him harshly.
