Silver Thread & Golden Needles

I don't want your lonely mansion with a chill in every room
I just want the love you promised beneath a haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
And pretend that I don't notice while you play your cheating game

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrows 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 grew up in faded gingham where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satin where love's a passing game
I know now you never loved me and I know I was a fool
To think your pride would let me live by the golden rule

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never drown my sorrows 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
