"Solitaire" lyrics

"Solitaire"

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 to 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
