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
