I don't want your lonely mansion,
With a tear in every room.
All I want's to love you darlin,
Beneath the haloed moon.
But you think I should be happy,
With you money and your name,
And hide myself in sorrow
While you play your cheating 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,
Cause 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.
And I dare not drown my sorrow,
In the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money,
Cause 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.
