Jesse

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 heart, 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 grey

But 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, 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 they’re 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.
