The Grateful Dead
Silver Threads and Golden Needles (Studio Demo)
[Verse 1]
I don't want your lonely mansions, with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's 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 'cause I've never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
I don't want your lonely mansions, with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's 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 'cause I've never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
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've never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
