XO

Chorus.
3. One night there’s a call, and at first you don’t know
What the troopers are saying from the side of the road,
Then you see in an instant that your whole life has changed.
Everything gone, all the plans rearranged.
Chorus.
4. You can’t keep down smiles; happiness floats.
But trouble can find us in the heart of our homes.
Life never seems to go quite right,
You can’t watch your back from morning to night.
Chorus.
Repeat Chorus.

Is It Love, Is It Less?

1. A warm autumn night, the state fair in full swing,
We walked back to my place and sure enough one thing
Led to another and at dawn you were there.
Your breath on my shoulder, your hand in my hair.
2. Just a week later, it happened again,
I was sure that we’d move to lovers from friends,
But that time I woke to a half empty bed,
And at least two months passed till I saw you again.
Chorus:
Is it left, is it right? Is it east, is it west?
Is it day, is it night? Is it good or the best?
I’m looking for answers, I’m looking for clues.
There has to be something to tell me the truth
I’m trying to know, but I can just guess,
Is it love between us?
Is it love, is it less?
3. I saw you and some girl on the street one day.
Oh, look, here’s my friend, I heard you say.
But the “friend” that you meant wasn’t her; it was me,
And you took her hand, pleased as could be.
4. Then just a month later, we meet for a beer,
We got to talking and then I hear,
you wonder out loud how life would be
if you got married to someone like me.
Chorus.
5. I read blogs and the papers, I watch cable news.
But the more that I hear, I get more confused.
Which reminds me of us, I simply can’t tell
If I’m immune or I’m under your spell.
Chorus.

Near the Silver Mine

1. I’ve lived in LA, I’ve lived in Maine,
New York City and the Midwest Plains,
