Jesse come home, there`s a hole in the bed
Where we 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 stairs in the halls, recalling
Your step; and I remember too.
All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey
And 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, it`s lonely, come home.
Jesse the spread 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
I`ll fix up my hair, we`ll sleep unawares
Hey Jesse, it`s lonely, come home
