"Solitaire" lyrics

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 is 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

And keeping to himself, begins the deal
And, still, the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again

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
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing 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 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

He's playing solitaire
