Verse:

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 cheating game.

 

Chorus:

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine,
And I dare not 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.
