Sheryl Crow - Solitaire lyrics

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 goes Goes without saying There was a man A lonely man Who would command The hand he's playing [Repeat (*)] [Repeat (**)] [Repeat (*)]
