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 '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 a (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  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  And by himself it's easy to pretend   He'll never love again  And keeping to himself he plays the game  Without a (her??) love     It always ends the same  While life goes on around him everywhere   He's playing Solitaire  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  (transcribed by Roman )
