Jessie come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept; now it's growing cold. hey
Jessie 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 Jessie, it's lonely, come home.
Jessie the floors in the halls, recalling
Your step; and I remember too.
All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey
And I still set a place on the table at noon
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared; I wait for you
Hey Jessie, it's lonely, come home.
Jessie the spread on the bed
It's like when you left, and I kept it for you.
and all the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And are see mingly new; hey Jessie, me and you.
and we'll swallow the light on the stairs
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unawares
Hey Jessie, it's lonely, come home
