Dave Carter

Dave Carter (August 13, 1952 – July 19, 2002) was an American folk singer-songwriter who described his style as "post-modern mythic American folk music." He was one half of the duo Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, who were heralded as the new "voice of modern folk music" in the months before Carter's unexpected death in July 2002. They were ranked as number one on the year-end list for "Top Artists" on the Folk Music Radio Airplay Chart for 2001 and 2002, and their popularity has endured in the years following Carter's death.Joan Baez who went on tour with the duo in 2002 spoke of Carter's songs in the same terms that she once used to promote a young Bob Dylan: more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

In a castle keep, in a vault of stone, in a house at the end of the lane

And old man weeps in his door alone and he sings out this mournful refrain


She will not come back, she will not come back

Though the mountains fall down to the sea

And the sky burns to cinders and the river runs black

She will not come back to me


No lightnin' rede from his books of lore, and the staff in the corner, no fire

And the crystal ball always bright before is grey as the dust of desire


She will not come back, she will not come back

Though he call on the powers that be

They will cipher this message in his cold zodiac

She will not come back to me


And joy my love was a dancin spring, and life was the touch of her lips

And a brook ran mad to my cave downstream from the miracle hills of her hips


She will not come back, she will not come back

Though the stars hang their tears in the trees

And tireless Orion lies spent in his tracks

She will not come back

She will not come back

She will not come back to me
