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 pretend that I don't notice while you play your cheatin' games
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine yeah

I grew up in in faded keno where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in see look inside where love is a passin' game
I know now you never loved me and I know I was the fool
To think your cry would let you if I was golden rule
Silver threads and golden needles...
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
