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
