Lyrics:
Mary Chapin Carpenter Come Darkness Come Light Twelve Songs Of Christmas

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

waiting for Somehow by the stable's faint light Peace in your heart is restored Bells are ringing all over the world Bells are ringing calling the light

kneel and adore him Seraphim round him their vigil will keep Nations proclaim him Their Lord and their Saviour But Mary will hold him And sing him to sleep Candlelight, angel light

tight, Let the candle burn all night, Tomorrow welcome back the light. ?Twas the longest night of the year Make a vow when Solstice comes: To find the Light

down into the till And it?s Christmas time in the city When the air is filled with cheer And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year And it?s Christmas

re waiting for Somehow by the stable's faint light Peace in your heart is restored Bells are ringing all over the world Bells are ringing calling the light

for the eight that stood at the gate... Nine for the nine all dressed so fine... Ten for the ten commandments... Eleven for the eleven deriders... Twelve for the twelve

old songs We dust them off when Christmas comes And for one day we just try to do our part And around here winter seems to come With rain and mud and

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
