Headed out of New York State Pale of sunshine like a leak in the sky Took us to Pennsylvania Open road Where we laughed and we smoked Your grey eyes where I rest my hope Hell I'd do anything for you But can I love you from a distance? Can I love you from afar? Every state has a Waterloo Hotel room to remind me of you Terrifying pleasure We drank rye You got drunk and you cried 'My angel flung out of space so high!' But we know I can't save you So can I love you from a distance? Can I love you from afar? 'Cause the price of salt is costly I don't know what I can afford. Yeah, the price of salt is costly I don't know what I can afford.
