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

In his silence



And 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

And 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 solitaire



Another day

A lonely day

So much to say

Goes unspoken



And through the night

His sleepless night

His eyes are closed

His heart is broken



And solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him takes him down

And by himself it's easy to pretend

She's coming back again

And 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 solitaire



A little hope

Goes up in smoke

Just how it goes

Goes without saying



Solitaire



And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again

Oh, and keeping to himself he plays the game

Without her love it always end the same

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire
