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 is 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 comes 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 comes to an end

And he deals them out again

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
