jesse (live) - janis ian lyrics

Loading...

[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 the heart

[chorus]
and i’m leaving the light on the stairs
no, i’m not scared—’cause i wait for you
hey jesse, i’m lonely, come home

[verse 2]
jesse, the floors and the boards
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
[chorus]
and i’m leaving the light on the stairs
no, i’m not scared—’cause i wait for you
hey jesse, i’m lonely, come home

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
jesse, the spread on the bed
it’s like when you left
’cause i’ve kept it up for you
and all the blues and the greens
have been recently cleaned
and they’re seemingly new
hey jess, me and you

[chorus]
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
come home
