Hot Buttered Rum Lyrics - Come Darkness Come Light: Twelve Songs Christmas - Mary Chapin Carpenter

When chimney smoke hangs still and low 

across the stubbled fields of snow 

And angry skies reach down and seize 

the sorry blackened bones of trees 

In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come 

You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum 

When dreary Christmas decorations 

line the streets and filling stations 

And dime store Santas can't disguise 

their empty hands and empty eyes 

In the dead of winter when the tinsel angels come 

You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum

When gloves and boots and woolen parkas 

bring cold comfort to the heart 

and bitter memories freeze the tongue 

and songs of love are left unsung 

In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come 

You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum
