Solitaire
Yes I looked for love
but didn’t find it
My radio’s playing in the kitchen Never known the taste
It’s stuck in the year of my first kiss
that I was born So I’m a self made
Inside I feel an aching itching stand alone misfit
Hearing songs that feel But hell there’s nothing
so tired and so worn that I really miss
So I ask myself,
I’m hunting for answers I’m playing solitaire
But all I find are questions All by myself and I don’t care
asking why The queen of hearts
Fate made me a solitary dancer Got lost somewhere
To be alone until the day I die Tell me, what else is there….
I’m playing solitaire If I play my cards well
All by myself and I don’t care who can tell
The queen of hearts Maybe deal me a Jack
Got lost somewhere from the pack
Tell me, what else is there…. Pick an ace for myself
leave my shelf
My clock is ticking Then stack up my deck
on the fireplace what the heck
The hands are moving
slowly marking time I’m playing solitaire
Inside my own heart beats All by myself and I don’t care
at the clocks pace The queen of hearts got lost
No flames are burning bright somewhere
it’s a crime Tell me, what else is there….
