Original lyrics
ENThere 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
And solitaire´s the only game in town
And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him ev´rywhere
He´s playin´ solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without sayin´
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command the hand he´s playin´
And solitaire´s the only game in town
And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him ev´rywhere
He´s playin´ solitaire
And keeping to himself begins to deal
And, still, the king of hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again
And solitaire´s the only game in town
And ev´ry road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him ev´rywhere
He´s playin´ solitaire
