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 ev'ry road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him ev'rywhere

He's playin' solitaire

A little hope

Goes up in smoke

Just how it goes,

goes without sayin'

There was a man

A lonely man

Who would command the hand he's playin'

And solitaire's the only game in town

And ev'ry road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him ev'rywhere

He's playin' 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 ev'ry road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him ev'rywhere

He's playin' solitaire
