Roy Clark - Silver Threads and Golden Needles lyrics

(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds)

I don't want this lonely mansion with a tear in every room

I just want the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon

But you thought you could be happy with my money and my fame

And pretend I wadn't noticed but you played your cheating games.

Silver threads and golden needles will not tie your heart to mine

And I'll never drown my sorrows in the warm glow of the wine

I won't buy your love with money for I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles cannot tie your heart to mine.

--- Instrumental ---

Silver threads and golden needles will not tie your heart to mine

And I'll never drown my sorrows in the warm glow of the wine

I won't buy your love with money for I never was that kind

Silver threads and golden needles cannot tie your heart to mine.

Silver threads and golden needles cannot tie your heart to mine...
