Silver Threads And Golden Needles - Johnny Rivers

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
