Lake Tahoe歌词

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!”
