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 You’ve come home!”
