[00:00.00]Hot Buttered Rum - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:16.41]When chimney smoke hangs still and low
[00:20.15]
[00:21.33]Across the stubbled fields of snow
[00:24.25]
[00:25.12]And angry skies reach down and seize
[00:28.83]The sorry blackened bones of trees
[00:32.67]In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come
[00:38.81]
[00:39.48]You're my sweet maple sugar honey hot buttered rum
[00:46.55]
[00:53.78]When dreary Christmas decorations
[00:57.44]
[00:58.21]Line the streets and filling stations
[01:01.96]And dime store Santas can't disguise
[01:06.07]Their empty hands and empty eyes
[01:09.24]
[01:10.16]In the dead of winter when the tinsel angels come
[01:16.19]
[01:17.05]You're my sweet maple sugar honey hot buttered rum
[01:23.92]
[01:57.17]When gloves and boots and woolen parkas
[02:00.75]Bring cold comfort to the heart
[02:04.16]
[02:05.17]And bitter memories freeze the tongue
[02:08.33]
[02:08.95]And songs of love are left unsung
[02:11.97]
[02:13.28]In the dead of winter when the cold feelings come
[02:18.95]
[02:19.84]You're my sweet maple sugar honey hot buttered rum
