Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine And I'll 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 I don't want your golden mansions With a tear in every room All I want's the love you promised Beneath the halo moon But you think I should be happy With your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow While you play your cheatin' game Silver threads and golden needles Cannot mend this heart of mine And I'll 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
