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
