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 solitare'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
And solitare'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
And solitare'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
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

Solitare is played on your own. It's talking about a man who is living his life alone. He may be getting delt a new hand everyday but life is still using the same deck...
What a beautiful song! Iv just been listening to this all morning and I can't get over how sad and bittersweet the lyrics are. Karen's voice on this is so haretbreakingly beauitiful, I feel like I'm filling up with tears listening to this. So gorgeous! Her voice should never be forgotten because it is so timeless.
my life...

My life story. A song of isolation and depression......obviously
