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 kept it for you 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 stair We'll fix up my hair And sleep unaware Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
