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
