Silver threads and golden needles
Will not tie your heart to mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of the wine
I won't buy you love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot tie your heart to mine

I don't want this lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
I just want the love you promised
Beneath the hallowed moon
But you thought you could be happy
With my money and my name
And pretend I wouldn't notice
While you played your cheatin' game

Silver threads and golden needles
Will not tie your heart to mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of the wine
I won't buy your love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot tie your heart to mine
Silver threads and golden needles
Will not tie your heart to mine
And I'll never drown my sorrow
In the warm glow of the wine
I won't buy your love with money
For I never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot tie your heart to mine
