Kate Bush - Lake Tahoe Lyrics
Lake TahoeCold mountain waterDon't ever swim thereJust stand on the edge and look in thereAnd you might see a woman down thereThey say some days, up she comes, up she rises, as if out of nowhereWearing Victorian dress.She was calling her pet, "Snowflake! Snowflake!"Tumbling like a cloud that has drowned in the lakeJust like a poor, porcelain doll...Her eyes are open but no-one's homeThe clock has stoppedSo long she's goneNo-one's homeHer old dog is sleepingHis legs are frail nowBut when he dreams,He runs...Along long beaches and sticky fieldsThrough the Spooky Wood looking for herThe beds are made. The table is laidThe 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 loveMiss me? Did you miss me?Here's the kitchen - There's your basketHere's the hall - That's where you wait for meHere's the bedroom - You're not allowed in thereHere's my lap - That's where you lay your headHere boy, oh you're a good boyYou've come homeYou've come home
