Song Information
By: Jack Rhodes & Dick Reynolds
Original Appearance: Honky Tonk Angels
Compilations: None
Alternate Versions: None

I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want is the love you promised
Bring me the halo 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 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
Cannot mend this heart of mine

Repeat Chorus

Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
