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 solitaires the only game in town
and evry road that takes him, takes him down
while life goes on around him evrywhere
hes 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 hes playin
and solitaires the only game in town
and evry road that takes him, takes him down
while life goes on around him evrywhere
hes 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 solitaires the only game in town
and evry road that takes him, takes him down
while life goes on around him evrywhere
hes playin solitaire
