Silver threads and golden needles

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
I just want the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' games

(Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine)
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money for I've never been that kind
(Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine)

[ guitar ]
Silver threads and golden needles...
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
