Janis Ian Jesse lyrics

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 ALL FOR YOU
AND ALL THE BLUES AND THE GREENS
HAVE BEEN RECENTLY CLEANED
AND THEY`RE SEEMINGLY NEW
HEY JES, ME AND YOU

WE`LL SWALLOW THE LIGHT ON THE STAIRS
WE`LL DO UP MY HAIR
WE`LL SLEEP UNAWARE
HEY JESSE, I`M LONELY, COME HOME
