Lyrics

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 step, and i remember, too, all the pictures are fading, and 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, i'm lonely, come home, jesse, the spread on the bed, is like when you left, i've kept it up for you, and all the blues and the greens, have been recently cleaned, and it's seemingly new, hey jes, me and you, we'll swallow the light on the stairs, we'll do up my hair, and sleep unaware, hey jesse, i'm lonely, come home
