Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Don Williams


I don't want your lonely mansion 
With a tear in every room 
All I want's the love you promised 
Beneath the haloed 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 dare not drown my sorrow 
In the warm glow of your wine 
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 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 
Can not mend this heart of mine 
Silver threads and golden needles 
Can not mend this heart of mine
