Dancer with Bruised Knees (Remastered)

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 reknown

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 reknown

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

For years we had been one with the stars

A Pas de Deux of reknown

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

But once I came crashing down

Doop do
