There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love through his indiff'rence
A heart that cared
that went unshared
Until it died within
his silence
And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him,
takes him down
While life goes on around him
everywhere
Just playing solitaire
And keeping to himself,
begins to deal
And still the king of hearts
is well-concealed
Anothere losing game comes
to an end
And deals them out again
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes,
goes w/o saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command the
hand he's playing.
