    First Christmas
    Composer(s): Stan Rogers
    Performer(s): Stan Rogers;
    The Black Family; The McCalmans



    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
