Scrape Her Knees Lyrics

Little hats tied round the chin

Little drawers to keep them in

Do I dare

Guiding hands to keep her close

Sheltered from what hurts the most

I'll teach her what I've learned of love

Then let her go outside and scrape her knees

Winter coats to keep her warm

Growing garden safe from harm

Do I dare

Marking height against the wall

Watch how quickly she'll grow tall

She'll teach me what she's learned of love

Then let me go outside and scrape my knees

Is it so bad to want for what should never be

How can I bring another to this misery

Is there nothing I can do

For another like us two

To teach her what we've learned of love

Then let her go outside and scrape her knees
