There was a man A lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that kept that went unchecked 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 While life goes on around him everywhere He`s playing Solitaire
