There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifferenceA heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silenceAnd 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 againAnd 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 solitaireA little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without sayingThere was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playingAnd 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 againAnd 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 solitaireAnd 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
