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 hearth all apart

It hangs on my heart
And I'm leaving 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 bars
Recalling your steps
And I remember too
All the pictures are fading and shaded in gray
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 it's seemingly new

Hey Jesse me and you
We swallow the light on the stairs
You do up my hair
We'll sleep unaware
Hey Jesse I'm lonely come home
