RE LA
This day a year ago he was rolling in the snow
With a younger brother in his father's yard
LA SImChristmas break a time for touching home
MIm LAThe heart of all he'd known and leaving was so hard
Three thousand miles away now he's working Christmas Day
SIm LA SOL REMaking double time for the minding of the store
LA SImWell he'd always said he'd make it on his own
He's spending Christmas Eve alone
SOL LA REFirst Christmas away from home
RE LA
She's standing by the train station, panhandling for change
SIm LA SOL REFour more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
Looks like the Sally Ann place after all
MIm LAIn a crowded sleeping hall that echoes like a tomb
RE LABut it's warm and clean and free and there are worse places to be
And at least it means no beating from her Dad
LA SImAnd if she cries because it's Christmas Day
MImShe hopes that it won't show
First Christmas away from home
In the apartment stands a tree and it looks so small and bare
SOL RENot like it was meant to be
LA SImThe Golden Angel on the top it's not that same old silver star
You wanted for your own
SOL LA REFirst Christmas away from home
RE LA
In the morning they get prayers then it's Crafts and tea downstairs
SIm LA SOL REThen another meal back in his little room
Hoping maybe that the boys will think to phone before the day is gone
LAWell it's best they do it soon
RE LAWhen the old girl passed away he fell more apart eyery day
Each had always kept the other pretty well
LA SImBut the kids all said the nursing home was best
MImCause he couldn't live alone
First Christmas away from home
In the Common Room they've got the biggest tree
REAnd it's huge and cold and lifeless
SOL RENot like it ought to be
And the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
SIm MImIt's not that same old silver star you once made for your own
