Solitaire

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

Door, don't close the door
I want to feel the cold
I want to see the light
Momma, where you gone?
This is no dream
Can't make it right if it's wrong
Your dancing with strangers, your fighting with friends
It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares
Ooh call me Solitaire! Oouh!

The eyes in the face of the wall
Follow me 'round the room
Follow me everywhere
A heart without an echo
A man without a child, alone with all my sorrow
Your dancing with strangers, your fighting with friends
It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares
Ooh call me Solitaire! Oouh oouh oouaah!

It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line, empty hearts and icy stares
Oh call me Solitaire, Solitaire, Solitaire! Ouh ouh Solitaire!
