Jack the Knife

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a knife I left behind I will always search for and never find A knife I believe was right here in my pocket And its blade still flashes through my mind And my fingers will forever be entwined Around the knife I left behind [Verse 2] There was a knife that would not be found Though I've searched the whole world round Spiraling downward, long red ribbons to the ground Turning smooth as a razor where the skin came all unwound Thеre was a knife Would not be found [Bridge] My hand holds a mеmory, its handle just like ebony Its blade was beaming, gleaming like a fast blue flame When it stabs me to the heart I feel the pain And no other knife could ever be the same [Saw Solo] [Bridge] With a heavy heart I drew and snapped the chalk line That ran between what was yours and mine In dreams I return to the scene of the crime For the knife I left behind [Verse 1] There was a knife I left behind I will always search for and never find A knife I believe was right here in my pocket Its blade still flashes through my mind And my fingers will forever be entwined Around the knife I left behind And my fingers will forever be entwined Around the knife I left behind
