It Might Be You

And are seemingly new -- Hey Jess, me and you
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

And I'm leaving the light on the stairs

And I still set a place at the table at noon
Jesse, the spread on the bed, it's like
When you left, I kept it for you
Your step, and I remember too
Will swallow the light on the stairs
No, I'm not scared -- I wait for you
All the pictures are shaded and fading in gray
Jesse, your face and the place where we lay
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home
Jesse, the stairs and the halls, recalling
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
By the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unaware
And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
