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,
takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself Begins to deal
But still the king of hearts Is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them all again
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
It's 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 he takes, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to preach And
he'll never love again
And keeping to himself Begins to deal
But still the king of hearts Is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them all again
And solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes,
takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
