Lyrics for Song: Jesse
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Series [2012]
Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed
where we slept, now its 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 keeping the light on the stairs, no I'm not scared
I wait for you. Hey Jesse it's lonely come home.
Jesse the floors and the walls, are recalling your steps
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 keeping 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, is like when you left
and I've kept it for you.
And all the blues and the greens, have been recently cleaned
and are seemingly new
hey Jess, me and you
We'll swollow the light on the stairs, We'll fix up my hair
and sleep unaware
Hey Jesse I'm lonely, come home.
