Jesse (Live)

Lyrics

[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 the heart [Chorus] And I'm leaving the light on the stairs No, I'm not scared—'cause I wait for you Hey Jesse, I'm 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 leaving the light on the stairs No, I'm not scared—'cause I wait for you Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Jesse, the spread on the bed It's like when you left 'Cause I've kept it up for you And all the blues and the greens Have been recently cleaned And they're seemingly new Hey Jess, me and you [Chorus] We'll swallow the light on the stairs We'll do up my hair—we'll sleep unaware Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home Come home
