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 solitare

And keeping to himself

Begin 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 solitare

And keeping to himself

Begin 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 solitare
