Jesse, come home

There's a hole in the bed where we slept

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 keepin' 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

Recallin' your steps and I remember too

All the pictures are fadin' and shaded in gray

But I still set a place on the table at noon

And I'm keepin' 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 I seemingly knew

Hey, Jess, me and you

Will swallow the light on the stairs

We'll fix up my hair and sleep unaware

Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely

Come home
