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
|
|
Now solitaire's the only game in town
|
And every road that takes me
|
Takes me down
|
And by myself it's easy to pretend
|
I'll never love again
|
|
And keeping to myself
|
I'll play the game
|
Without her love
|
It always ends the same
|
While life goes on around me everywhere
|
I'm playing solitaire
|
|
Another day
|
A lonely day
|
So much to take
|
That goes unspoken
|
|
And through the night
|
A sleepless night
|
The eyes are closed
|
Hearts are broken
|
|
Now solitaire's the only game in town
|
And every road that takes me
|
Takes me down
|
And by myself it's easy to pretend
|
You're coming back again
|
|
(Instrumental)

Now solitaire's the only game in town
|
And every road that takes me
|
Takes me down
|
And by myself it's easy to pretend
