Lyrics

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 They're shaded in gray But I still set a place on the table at noon And I'm leaving the light on the stairs And I'm not scared I wait for you Hey Jesse, I'm 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 I seemingly knew Hey Jess, me and you Will swallow the light on the stair I'll fix up my hair We'll sleep unaware Hey Jesse, it's lonely Come home
