## Lyrics

**Verse**

Front of the thigh and behind the knee  
Down in the calf where it hides  
Never a limp and never a mark  
And it's usually both of the sides  


**Chorus**

Warm hands and a warm bath  
And a gentle stretch before bed  
A cuddle that says it will pass  
And tomorrow they're running instead  


**Verse**

But one sore spot that is swollen and red  
Or a limp when they're out in the day  
Or still hurting when breakfast comes round  
Then we'll ring up and ask what they say  


**Chorus**

Warm hands and a warm bath  
And a gentle stretch before bed  
A cuddle that says it will pass  
And tomorrow they're running instead  


**Bridge**

Nothing is damaged in bone or in muscle  
It's an ache and a long, long night  
You stay close till the ache has gone  
And the morning comes up bright  


**Outro**

It will pass, love  
It will pass
