Roberta Flack Jesse Lyrics

Jesse Lyrics

Jesse, come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept, now it's growing
cold
Jesse, your face and 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, it's lonely, come
home

Jesse, the stairs and the halls, recalling
Your step, and I
remember too
All the pictures are shaded and fading in gray
And I still
set a place at the table at noon
And I'm leaving 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, it's like
When you left, I kept it
for you
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And are
seemingly new -- Hey Jess, me and you
Will swallow the light on the
stairs
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, it's lonely,
come home
