Silver Threads And Golden Needles

Al Dean · Other Songs - Al Dean

I don't want your lonely mansion

With a tear in every room

All I want's the love you've promised

Beneath the halo moon



But you think I should be happy

With your money and your name

And hide myself in sorrows

While you play your cheatin' game



Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

And I dare not drown my sorrows

In the warm glow of your mind



You can't buy my love with money

'Cause I ain't 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 sorrows

In the warm glow of your mind



You can't buy my love with money

'Cause I ain't never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine
