JESSE COME HOME

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BED

WHERE WE SLEPT

NOW IT'S GROWING COLD

HEY 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, I'M LONELY, COME HOME



JESSE, THE FLOORS AND THE BOARDS

RECALLING YOUR STEP

AND I REMEMBER, TOO

ALL THE PICTURES ARE FADING

AND SHADED IN GREY

BUT I STILL SET A PLACE

ON THE TABLE AT NOON



AND I'M LEAVING A LIGHT ON THE STAIRS

NO I'M NOT SCARED - I WAIT FOR YOU

HEY JESSE, I'M LONELY, COME HOME



JESSE, THE SPREAD ON THE BED

IS LIKE WHEN YOU LEFT

I'VE KEPT IT ALL FOR YOU

AND ALL THE BLUES AND THE GREENS

HAVE BEEN RECENTLY CLEANED

AND THEY'RE SEEMINGLY NEW

HEY JES, ME AND YOU



WE'LL SWALLOW THE LIGHT ON THE STAIRS

WE'LL DO UP MY HAIR

WE'LL SLEEP UNAWARE

HEY JESSE, I'M LONELY, COME HOME
