Jesse Lyrics

Jesse, come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept, now it's growing cold
Jesse, your face and the place where we lay
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
And I'm keeping the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
Jesse, the floors and the boards, recalling
Your step, and I remember too
All the pictures are fading and shaded in gray
But I still set a place on the table at noon
And I'm keeping the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
Jesse, the spread on the bed, it's like
When you left, and I kept it for you
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And are seemingly new -- Hey Jess, me and you
Will swallow the light on the stairs
we'll fix up my hair, and sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.
