Jesse Live on The Old Grey Whistle Test
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And I'm leaving light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared—I wait for you
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home

[Verse 2]
Jesse, the floors and the boards
Recalling your steps
And I remembеr, too
All the pictures are fading
And shadеd in grey
But I still set a place
On the table at noon
[Chorus]
And I'm leaving light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared, I'm waiting for you
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home

[Guitar]

[Verse 3]
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 Jess, me and you

[Chorus]
We'll swallow the light on the stairs
We'll do up my hair and sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
