Letra

Jesse, come home

There's a hole in the bed

Where you slept

Now it's growing cold

Jesse, your face

In the place where we lay

By the hearth, all apart

It hangs on my heart

And I'm leaving 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 grey

But I still set a place

On the table at noon

And I'm leaving a 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

I've 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 stairs

Fix up my hair

We'll sleep unaware

Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
