Solitaire - Neil Sedaka/The Blue Strings

Written by：Neil Sedaka/Phil Cody

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

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing 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 deals them out again

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

And solitaire is 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

And keeping to himself begins to deal

And still the king of hearts is well concealed

Another losing game comes to an end

And deals them out again

And solitaire is 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
