This is a reimagining of, or perhaps a direct companion song to, Solitaire by Neil Sedaka.
Acting a sort of prelude to that song we join the central character before he has lost his love to 'his indifference'. The narrator shows the future implications of his actions to the younger man, forewarning him of what is in store if he carries on down this path playing 'Time's fickle card game' = Solitaire.
Look out of the window
What's passing you by?
And before your very eyes...
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire.
