Solitaire lyrics

Song information

Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: Always On My Mind

Lyrics

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that kept, that went unchecked
Until it died within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that 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
(Chorus)

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
