Jesse come home
There′s a hole in the bed
Where you slept
Now it's growing cold
Jesse your face
In the place where we lay
By the hearth
All apart
It hangs on my heart
And I′m leaving 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 steps
And I remember too
All the pictures are fading
They′re shaded in grey
But I still set a place
On the table at noon
And I′m leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared
I wait for you
Hey Jesse I′m lonely
Come home
Jesse there's bread on the bed
It′s like when you left
I kept it for you
All the blues and the greens
Have been recently cleaned
And are seemingly new
Hey Jess me and you
We'll swallow the light on the stairs
Fix up my hair
We′ll sleep unaware
Hey Jesse it's lonely
Come home
