your hurt knees

Featuring a certain fabulous Carrie on vocals! Must admit I cheated a little on this one; wrote it two days after last week’s song. I can break my own rules, right? Fastest recording session I’ve had in a long time, and one of the most enjoyable! Carrie and I did the backing vocals in one take; I couldn’t get her to sing alone, so you get two of me. Sorry. Also, I have been playing slide banjo since approximately two minutes before that part was recorded.

woke this morning, lost an hour, you were calling me
you’d fallen down in some rocks
you were ok, but you wanted to share the story
and see how i was

and i wish you weren’t so far away from me right now
and i wish we could do whatever we wanted to
and i wish i was there to kiss your hurt knees

maybe you shouldn’t try to race your sister down the street
or maybe you could practice somewhere softer
we could run ’round in the grass, there’d be obstacles
kids and pets and picnics

and i wish we were at the park right now
even though it’s dark, we could still have fun
and i would be there to kiss your hurt knees

went all ’round the house this morning turning the clocks forward
i’m sure i missed one
maybe it’s like it’s one less hour we’ll be apart
or maybe i’m just sentimental

and i wish you weren’t so far away from me right now
and i wish we could do whatever we wanted to
and i wish i could be there to kiss your hurt knees
