Janis Ian Jesse Lyrics:
Jesse, come home,
There's a hole in the bed,
Where we slept.
Now it's growing cold.
Hey, 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 stair.
No, I'm not scared, I wait for you.
Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

Jesse, the floors and the boards,
Recalling your step,
And I remember, too.
All the pictures are shaded,
And fading in gray.
But I still set a place,
At the table at noon.

And I'm leaving the light on the stair,
No, I'm not scared, I wait for you.
Hey, Jesse, I'm lonely, come home.

[Instrumental break with vocal stylings featuring Janis on the guitar.]

Jesse, the spread on the bed
Is like when you left.
I've kept it up for you,
All the blues and the greens,
Have been recently cleaned.
And they're seemingly new.
Hey, Jess, me and you..../

We'll swallow the light on the stair.
I'll fix up my hair.
We'll sleep unaware.
Hey, Jesse, it's lonely, come home.
