Silver Threads and Golden Needles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never 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
Go ahead!
I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised, beneath 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 cheatin' game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I'll never 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
