Merlin's Lament Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

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
