Jesse-Janis Ian

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 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 step 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 a 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 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
