Roberta Flack - Jesse lyrics

rate me

Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed

where we slept, now its 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 keeping the light on the stairs, no I'm not scared

I wait for you. Hey Jesse it's lonely come home.

Jesse the floors and the walls, are 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.

And I'm keeping 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, is like when you left

and I've kept it for you.

And all the blues and the greens, have been recently cleaned

and are seemingly new

hey Jess, me and you

We'll swollow the light on the stairs, We'll fix up my hair

and sleep unaware

Hey Jesse I'm lonely, come home.
