Sangtekst: Kate & Anna McGarrigle. Dancer with Bruised Knees. Dancer With Bruised Knees.

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
