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
