Jesse Joan Baez

[Verse 1]
Jesse, come home
There's a hole in the bed
Where we slept
Now it's growing cold
Jesse, your face
In the place where we lay
By the hearth, all apart
It hangs on my heart

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Jesse, the stairs and the halls
Recalling your step
And I remember, too
All the pictures are shaded
And fading in grey
And I still set a place
At the table at noon

[Chorus]
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
