There was

A man

Ah

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 him

Takes him down

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

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

Solitaire

Solitaire
