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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
