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
