Solitaire
Neil Sedaka / The Carpenters
20/03/08 - MIDI file replaced with concert footage!  Emyr playing the solo on euphonium, having switched from the flugel horn just three months earlier).
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 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 around him goes on 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 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 around him goes on everywhere
He's playing solitaire

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
