Jesse

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Jesse, the floors and the boards
Recalling your steps
And I remember, too
All the pictures are fading
And shaded in grey
But I still set a place
On the table at noon

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
We'll swallow the light on the stairs
We'll fix up my hair and sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
