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 rest your head here boy oh you re a good boy you ve come home you ve come home you ve come home 1
