She Is Not Dead

Adrian Belew · Desire Of The Rhino King [1991]

Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives



Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

She is not dead



Although I must walk alone

I am part of her

If I must hurt anything

It will not be her



Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

She is not dead



What happens to her

Happens to me

What happens to her

Happens to me



Although I depart alone

From our great earth

She has given more

Than I can return



Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

She is not dead



Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

She is not dead



Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

She is not dead



Come singing, saying praise

Her beauty lives

She is not dead
