  • (Stan Rogers, 1979)
  • This day a year ago, he was rolling in the snow
  • With a younger brother in his father's yard
  • Christmas break, a time for touching home,
  • The heart of all he'd known
  • And leaving was so hard
  • Three thousand miles away,
  • Now he's working Christmas Day
  • Making double time for the minding of the store
  • Well he always said, he'd make it on his own
  • He's spending Christmas Eve alone
  • First Christmas away from home
  • She's standing by the train station,
  • Pan-handling for change
  • Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
  • Looks like the Sally Ann place after all,
  • In a crowded sleeping hall
  • That echoes like a tomb
  • But it's warm and clean and free,
  • And there are worse places to be
  • At least it means no beating from her Dad
  • And if she cries because it's Christmas Day
  • She hopes that it won't show
  • First Christmas away from home
  • In the apartment stands a tree,
  • And it looks so small and bare
  • Not like it was meant to be,
  • Golden angel on the top
  • It's not that same old silver star,
  • You wanted for your own
  • First Christmas away from home
  • In the morning, they get prayers,
  • Then it's crafts and tea downstairs
  • Then another meal back in his little room
  • Hoping maybe that "the boys"
  • Will think to phone before the day is gone
  • Well, it's best they do it soon
  • When the "old girl" passed away,
  • He fell apart more every day
  • Each had always kept the other pretty well
  • But the kids all said the nursing home was best
  • Cause he couldn't live alone
  • First Christmas away from home
  • In the common room they've got the biggest tree
  • And it's huge and cold and lifeless
  • Not like it ought to be,
  • And the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
  • It's not that same old silver star,
  • You once made for your own
  • First Christmas away from home
