Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
Hold it under pillow while you are sleeping
Then cut a window into
Your oldest and darkest dream
And let it wash over you
That life-like, love light beam
If trouble comes tonight
Remember your pocket knife
To cut into the dark
And let in a little light
With this ol' pocket knife
If trouble comes tonight
Remember your pocket knife
Pocket knife
Take your old weather worn boots
You were about to retire
Lace them together up on a phone wire
We'll walk into everyone's ears
And we'll talk about this love
The only thing around here
There is never enough of
If trouble comes tonight
Remember your pocket knife
To cut into the dark
And let in a little light
With this ol' pocket knife
If trouble comes tonight
Remember your pocket knife
Pocket knife
To cut into the dark
And let in a little light
With this ol' pocket knife
Here we learn to shadow box
Here we learn to stay and fight
Here we know to pick old locks
Here we are bathed in light
Take this old pocket knife that I have been keeping
Hold it under pillow while you are sleeping
