Rainbirds - Not Exactly lyrics

I am sad alright But what a waste of time I held you much too close And now there's something missing But i can't see the empty space Something else has taken place I am sad alright But what a waste of tears I held you much too close And now there's someone missing She is gone without a trace Just the expression on her face: What a waste There's a flame and a fire and a body burning up And a bird on a shape made of steel ohoh He keeps on singing It's not exactly what you think Not exactly what you see Not exactly what you've learned And what you will be learning I am sad alright But what a waste of breath I'm only talking to relieve Although there's noone listening He is gone without a trace Just the expression on his face: Who's to blame? There's a flame and a fire and a body burning up And a bird on a shape made of steel, ohoh He keeps on singing It's not exactly what you think Not exactly what you see Not exactly what you've learned And what you will be learning
