Rainbirds - Not Exactly lyrics

Album: Call Me Easy Say I´m Strong Love Me My Way It Ain´t Wrong (1989)

i´m sad alright
but what a waste of time
i held you much too close
and now there`s smth missing
but i can`t see the empty space
smth else has taken place
i´m 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 & a fire & 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´ll be learning

i´m 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 & a fire & 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´ll be learning
