Silver Threads and Golden Needles
Yearning for True Love Beyond Wealth: Silver Threads and Golden Needles
Lyrics
I don't want your lonely mansion
I reject your luxurious mansion, filled with sorrow in every room.
With a tear in every room
Describing the sadness and emotional pain present in the opulent mansion.
All I want's the love you've promised
All I desire is the love you promised, symbolized under the enchanting moon.
Beneath the halo moon
Emphasizing the romantic promise associated with the moon's halo.
But you think I should be happy
You believe I should find happiness in your wealth and reputation.
With your money and your name
Rejecting the idea of finding contentment through material possessions.
And hide myself in sorrows
Choosing not to hide in sorrow while you engage in deceitful behavior.
While you play your cheatin' game
Addressing the presence of infidelity or dishonesty in the relationship.
Silver threads and golden needles
Silver threads and golden needles are incapable of repairing my broken heart.
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Expressing the irreparable nature of the emotional damage suffered.
And I dare not drown my sorrows
Choosing not to drown sorrows in the warmth of deceptive comfort.
In the warm glow of your mind
Refusing false solace found in the illusionary warmth of your thoughts.
You can't buy my love with money
Declaring that love cannot be purchased with wealth.
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Rejecting the notion that the speaker is the type to be influenced by money.
Silver threads and golden needles
Reiteration that precious materials cannot mend the broken heart.
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Reemphasizing the irreparability of the emotional damage endured.
Silver threads and golden needles
Repeating the idea that silver threads and golden needles are ineffective.
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Reiterating the inability of these materials to mend the heart.
And I dare not drown my sorrows
Restating the decision to avoid seeking comfort in deceptive warmth.
In the warm glow of your mind
Affirming the refusal to find solace in illusionary thoughts.
You can't buy my love with money
Affirming that genuine love cannot be bought with monetary wealth.
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Reiterating the speaker's character as not influenced by material wealth.
Silver threads and golden needles
Reemphasizing that silver threads and golden needles cannot mend the heart.
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Reiterating the permanent nature of the emotional damage experienced.
