Solitaire

There was a man, a lonely man

Who lost his love through his indifference

A heart that cared, that went unshared

Until it died within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He’s playing solitaire

And keeping to himself begins to deal

And still the king of hearts is well concealed

Another losing game come to an end

And he deals them out again

A little hope goes up in smoke

Just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man

Who would command the hand he's playing

And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He’s playing solitaire

And keeping to himself begins to deal

And still the king of hearts is well concealed

Another losing game come to an end

And he deals them out again

A little hope goes up in smoke

Just how it goes, goes without saying

And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game

Without her love it always ends the same

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire
