Not Exactly Lyrics - Rainbirds

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
