|
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
|
|
CHORUS:
|
|
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 he plays the game
|
|
without her love, it always ends the same
|
|
and by himself it's easy to pretend
|
|
he'll never love again
|
|
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
|
|
