“Silver Threads and Golden Needles” Lyrics
I don’t want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want’s the love you’ve promised
Beneath the halo moon
But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrows
While you play your cheatin’ game
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind
You can’t buy my love with money
‘Cause I ain’t 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
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind
You can’t buy my love with money
‘Cause I ain’t never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
