Silver Threads and Golden Needles (Live at the Fillmore East, New York City, May 15, 1970)
[Verse 1]
I grew up in faded gingham
Where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satin
Where love's a passing game
I know now you never loved me
Oh, I know I was just a fool
To think your pride would let you
Play love by the Golden Rule
[Chorus]
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
[Verse 2]
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you've promised once beneath that haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and hide my sorrows while you play love's cheatin' game
[Chorus]
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money 'cause I ain't 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 drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
[Outro]
Ah, thank you
