《 The Carpenters - Solitaire 》

《 The Carpenters - Solitaire 》

There was a man, a lonely man

Who lost his love through his indifference

A heart that cared, that went unchecked

Until it died in 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

Another day, a lonely day

So much to say that goes unspoken

And through the night, his sleepless nights

His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

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

She's coming back 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

Solitaire

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again

Ohhh

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

Solitaire, solitaire
