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 ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him ev´rywhere He´s playin´ solitaire A little hope Goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without sayin´ There was a man A lonely man Who would command the hand he´s playin´ And solitaire´s the only game in town And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him ev´rywhere He´s playin´ 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 ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him ev´rywhere He´s playin´ solitaire
