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 tô pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping tô 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 tô pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping tô 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
