Dancer With Bruised Knees Lyrics - Dancer With Bruised Knees - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

When I first knew her, she was a dancer, she'd leap 

(Confidently) 

Knowing that should she fall 

It would be into the arms of her partner 

She never failed to get a curtain call 

For years we had been one with the stars 

A Pas de Deux of re-known 

I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly 

And gently he'd put me down 

The heights that I reached were dangerous 

And I saw my partner strain 

And felt when I had landed 

His strength was on the wane 

Back before my knees were blue 

Backs broke bending in a step for two 

For years we had been one with the stars 

A Pas de Deux of re-known 

I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly 

But once I came crashing down 

Now I'm a weaver 

Wall hangings if you please 

In everyone I feature 

A dancer with bruised knees 

Doop, do
