Lyrics

it?s a long way from the top to the bottom,
but it feels further when you fall.
and on a moonlit night, sometimes you feel all right.
and sometimes, you don?t feel nothing, at all.

you?ve been chasing dreams so long now,
you?ve chased the best of them away.
and some feelings stir when you think of her,
and you wonder what she?d say.

solitaire. you reach for love but there?s no one there.
you keep reaching, and all you touch is air,
and that?s even sliding through your hands.
try to understand, if you can, solitaire.

hear my song:
if love?s forever, it sure don?t seem that long.
then, when it slips away, it?s always gone.
there?s too much forever there.

but that?s the way it is,
and the way it isn?t, solitaire.

so you tell yourself there?ll be someone else,
someone to brush the tears away.
but the odds seem small, when you still can?t recall,
why she ran away.

you made a stand out of standin? for nothing.
now you?re standing too close to the end.
so you stare into space and examine each face
for a feeling that won?t come again.

solitaire. you reach for love but there?s no one there.
you keep reaching, and all you touch is air,
and that?s even sliding through your hands.
try to understand, if you can, solitaire.

hear my song:
if love?s forever, it sure don?t seem that long.
then, when it slips away, it?s always gone.
and there?s too much forever there.

but that?s the way it is,
and the way it isn?t, solitaire.
yeah, that?s the way it is,
and the way it isn?t, solitaire.
