Lyrics Johnny Rivers

Johnny Rivers

Silver Threads and Golden Needles

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 my tears in sorrow

While you play your cheating 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 wine

You can't buy my love with money

'Cause I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles

Cannot mend this heart of mine

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 my tears in sorrow

While you play your cheating 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 wine

You can't buy my love with money

'Cause 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
