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 leaving the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
Hey Jesse, I'm 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
And I still set a place at the table at noon
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No, 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've kept it for you
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And it's seemingly new -- Hey Jess, me and you
We'll swallow the light on the stairs
We'll do up up my hair, we'll sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
