Jesse |
| Jesse come home, there’s a hole in the bed |
| Where we 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 stairs in the halls, recalling |
| Your step; |
| and I remember too |
| All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey |
| And I still set a place on the table at noon |
| 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 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 are seemingly new; |
| hey Jess, me and you |
| We’ll swallow the light on the stairs |
| I’ll fix up my hair, we’ll sleep unawares |
| Hey Jesse, it’s lonely, come home |
