There was a man
a lonely man
who lost his love
through his indifference
A heart that cared
that lived unshared
until it died
within his silence
And solitaires 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
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
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
While life goes on
around him everywhere
he's playing 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 every road
that takes him
takes him down
While life goes on
around him everywhere
he's playing solitaire
