Jesse, come home

There's a hole in the bed

Where we slept

And now it's growin' cold

Hey Jesse, your face in 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, I'm lonely, come home



Jesse, the floors and the boards

Recalling your steps

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 the light on the stairs

No I'm not scared

I'll 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 up for you

All the blues and the greens

Have been recently cleaned

And it's seemingly new

Hey Jess', me and you

We'll swallow the light on the stair

We'll do up my hair

And sleep unaware

Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home

Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home...
