Lake Tahoe. |
|
Cold mountain water. Don't ever swim there. |
|
Just stand on the edge and look in there. |
|
And you might see a woman down there. |
|
They say some days, up she comes, up she rises, as if out of nowhere. |
|
Wearing Victorian dress. |
|
She was calling her pet, "Snowflake! Snowflake!" |
|
Tumbling like a cloud that has drowned in the lake. |
|
Just like a poor, porcelain doll... |
|
Her eyes are open but no-one's home. |
|
The clock has stopped. |
|
So long she's gone. |
|
No-one's home. |
|
Her old dog is sleeping. |
|
His legs are frail now. |
|
But when he dreams, |
|
He runs... |
|
Along long beaches and sticky fields. |
|
Through the Spooky Wood looking for her. |
|
The beds are made. The table is laid. |
|
The door is open - someone is calling: It's a woman. |
|
"Here boy, here boy! You've come home! |
|
I've got an old bone and a biscuit and so much love. |
|
Miss me? Did you miss me? |
|
Here's the kitchen - There's your basket. |
|
Here's the hall - That's where you wait for me. |
|
Here's the bedroom - You're not allowed in there. |
|
Here's my lap - That's where you lay your head. |
|
Here boy, oh you're a good boy. |
|
You've come home. |
|
You've come home." |
