?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
|
|
(*) And 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 her 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 kills
|
|
Goes without saying
|
|
There was a man
|
|
A lonely man
|
|
Who would command
|
|
The hand he's playing
|
|
Repeat (*)
|
|
Repeat (**)
|
|
Repeat (*)
|
