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 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 her love it always ends the same    While life goes on around him everywhere    He's playing Solitaire       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
