jesse

jesse

come home

there's a hole in the bed

where we slept

now it's growing cold

jesse

your face and 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 and the halls

recalling

your step

and i remember too

all the pictures are shaded and fading in gray

and i still set a place at 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

will swallow the light on the stairs

i'll fix up my hair

we'll sleep unaware

hey jesse

it's lonely

come home
