Sweet Rachel Ann

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
