Текст Kate Bush — Lake Tahoe

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.»
