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 end 

Solitaire's the only game in town 
And every road that takes him, takes him down 
And by himself it's easy to pretend 
He'll never love again 

And keeping to himself he plays the game 
Without a 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 

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
