THERE WAS A MAN
A LONELY MAN
WHO LOST HIS LOVE
THROUGH HIS INDIFFERENCE
A HEART THAT CARED
BUT LIVED UNSHARED
AND SLOWLY DIED
WITHIN HIS SILENCE
AND SOLITAIRE'S
THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
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
BUT STILL THE KING OF HEARTS
IS WELL CONCEALED
ANOTHER LOSING GAME
COMES TO AN END
SO, HE DEALS THEM OUT AGAIN
A LITTLE HOPE
GOES UP IN SMOKE
AND HOW IT GOES
GOES WITHOUT SAYING
THERE WAS A MAN
A LONELY MAN
WHO WOULD COMMAND
THE GAME HE'S PLAYING
AND SOLITAIRE'S
THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
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
BUT STILL THE KING OF HEARTS
IS WELL CONCEALED
ANOTHER LOSING GAME
COMES TO AN END
SO, HE DEALS THEM OUT AGAIN
AND SOLITAIRE'S
THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN
EVERY ROAD
THAT TAKES HIM
TAKES HIM DOWN
WHILE LIFE GOES ON
AROUND HIM EVERYWHERE...
HE'S PLAYING SOLITAIRE...
