silver threads and golden needles
I don't want your lonely mansion With a tear in every room All I want is the love you promised Beneath the haloed moon But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And I hide my tears in sorrow While you play your cheatin' game Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare not 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 I don't want your lonely mansion With a tear in every room All I want is the love you promised Beneath the haloed moon But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And I hide my tears in sorrow While you play your cheatin' game Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare not 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 Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
