1	Jesse, come home,						Jesse, come home	1
2	There's a hole in the bed,						There’s a hole in the bed	2
3	Where we slept.						Where we slept	3
4	Now it's growing cold.						Now it’s growing cold	4
5	Hey, Jesse, your face,						Hey Jesse, your face	5
6	And the place where we lay,						In the place where we lay	6
7	By the hearth, all apart.						By the hearth, all apart	7
	It hangs on my heart.						It hangs on my heart.
8	And I'm leaving the light on the stair.						And I’m leaving the light	8
9	No, I'm not scared, I'm waiting for you.						On the stairs.	9
10	Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.						No, I’m not scared	10

1	And I remember, too.							1
14	All the pictures are shaded,						Jesse, the floors	14
15	And faded to gray.						And the boards	15
16	But I still set a place,						Recalling your steps	16
17	At the table for two.						And I remember too	17
18							All the pictures are fading	18
19	And I'm leaving the light on the stair,						And shaded in grey	19
20	No, I'm not scared, I'm waiting for you.						But I still set a place	20
21	Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.						On the table at noon.	21

	Jesse, the spread on the bed						Jesse, the spread on the bed
23	Is like when you left.						Is like when you left	23
24	I've kept it up for you,						I’ve kept it up for you.	24
25	All      the blues and the greens,						And all the blues	25
