Jessie Songtext
von Roberta Flack

Jesse, come home
There′s a hole in the bed where we slept
Now it's 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 boards
Recalling your steps
And I remember too
All the pictures are fading
And shaded in gray
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 swallow the light on the stairs
We′ll fix up my hair
And sleep unaware
Hey Jesse, I'm lonely, come home
