Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann when are you ever coming home
|
|
Sweet Rachel Ann we've waited here through many seasons now
|
We've waited here but you have not returned
|
When you left you promised us that you'd return someday
|
We miss you and our love for you still burns
|
|
Our little girl who longed to see the world beyond these hills
|
Sweet Rachel Ann you felt you had to go
|
The autumn wind again has blown the last leaves from the trees
|
Making room for winter's ice and snow
|
|
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann oh how we miss you since you've gone
|
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann when are you ever coming home
|
|
Spring had kissed the earth again wait what's that I see
|
Is it someone running up the path
|
Oh wait a minute could it be Rachel is that you
|
Sweet Rachel Ann have you come home at last
|
|
Rachel I hardly recognize you now you look so tired and thin
|
Sweet Rachel Ann you're different than before
|
And that world that lies beyond these hills well it's hurt you Rachel Ann
|
But now you're home and nothing's gonna ever hurt you not anymore
|
|
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann our love will make you good as new again
|
Sweet Rachel Ann sweet Rachel Ann
|
At last you have come home sweet Rachel Ann Rachel Ann
|
