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
[ guitar ]
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
