Jesse

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 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 steps

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

Is like when you left

And I've kept it for you

And 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

We'll fix up my hair

And sleep unaware

Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
