  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 hall, 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
