Name: (Somewhere she’s Playing) Solitaire by Matt Chroust
Duration: 1 min 46 s
Description: Jazzy song about a woman on the run from herself

she didn’t leave a parting note
she’d given up inside
she found a motel down the road
just someplace safe to hide

to start again anonymous
just hoping she succeeds
she packed her hopes and promises
and everything she needs

a wooden carved Thai elephant
a pin her daughter wore
she couldn’t face abandonment
by him or her before

It’s hard to find the strength to care
she starts the game again
somewhere she’s playing Solitaire
still hoping she can win

I’m not the man I ought to be
but every day I tried
to tell her what she meant to me
just standing by my side

another reject she discards
she’s got no time for plans
she shuffles up the deck of cards
to play another hand

a cup of noodles growing cold
beside her on the table
she tells herself she had to go
it’s not a real betrayal

It’s hard to find the strength to care
she starts the game again
somewhere she’s playing Solitaire
still hoping she can win
