There was a man A lonely man Who lost his love Through his indifference A heart with pain That will unshake And slowly died Within his silence Now solitaire is 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'll play the solitaire Another 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 Now solitaire is 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'll play the solitaire Solitaire is the only game in town Every road that takes me, takes me down
