Solitaire

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it kills
Goes without saying.

There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing.

[Chorus:]
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
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire.
