There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
through his indifference
A heart that cared
that went unshared
That slowly died
within his silence
And 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 play the game
Without your love
it always ends the same
While life goes on
around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire
And now the day...
A lonely day
So much to say
That goes unspoken
And through the night
Each sleepless night
The eyes are closed
The heart is broken
And 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
And keeping to myself
I play the game
Without your love
it always ends the same
While life goes on
around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire
Solitaire's the
only game in town
Every road that takes me
takes me down...
