Golden Thread

Tell me one more lie my dear

Tell me one more lie my dear

Tell me one more lie my dear

Tell me one more lie my dear

There's lights on in a window

And a signpost in the snow

There's a golden coin beneath your pillow

There's parachutes above you

And lifeboats below

And a heart that loves you

Yeah, I think you know

There's treasure maps well hidden

And diamonds in the dirt

There's a golden thread weaved into your shirt

There's a kiss for every tear

That rolls down your cheek

And words I shouldn't hear and words you shouldn't speak

So tell me one more lie my dear

Whisper softly so nobody hears

Keep me hanging on for another year

Oh, tell me one more lie my dear

Well there's whiskey and blankets

And a bonfire when you're cold

I'll hold a golden breath till I'm silver and old

With only hope to keep alive

And only time to kill

There's a fool that loved you

And he loves you still

So tell me one more lie my dear

Whisper softly so nobody hears

Keep me hanging on for another year

Oh, tell me one more lie my dear

Spin me one more tale sweetheart

Weave golden needle and thread through my heart

Whisper all the things you know I long to hear

Oh tell me one more lie my dear
