Jen Cloher & The Endless Sea — Carol lyrics

Lyrics

Headed out in New York State
Pale sunshine like a leak in the sky
Took us to Pennsylvania
Open road where we laughed and we smoked
Your gray 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 remind me of you
Terrifying pleasure
We drank rye
We got drunk and you cried
«My angel, flung out of space, so high
But you know I can’t save you»
But 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
