DThis day a year ago he was Arolling in the snow
With a Bmyounger Abrother Gin his father's Dyard
AChristmas break a time for touching Bmhome
The heart of all he'd Emknown and leavAing was so hard
Three Dthousand miles away now he's Aworking Christmas Day
Making Bmdouble Atime for the Gminding of the Dstore
Well he'd Aalways said he'd make it on his Bmown
He's spending Christmas Eve aEmlone
First GChristmas aAway from Dhome
DShe's standing by the train station, Apanhandling for change
Four more Bmdollars Abuys a Gdecent meal and a Droom
ALooks like the Sally Ann place after Bmall
In a crowded sleeping Emhall that echAoes like a tomb
But it's Dwarm and clean and free and there are Aworse places to be
And at Bmleast it Ameans no Gbeating from her DDad
AAnd if she cries because it's Christmas BmDay
She hopes that it won't Emshow
First GChristmas aAway from Dhome
AIn the apartment stands a tree and it looks so small and Dbare
Not like Git was meant to Dbe
AThe Golden Angel on the top it's not that same old Bmsilver star
You wanted for your Emown
First GChristmas aAway from Dhome
DIn the morning they get prayers then it's ACrafts and tea downstairs
Then anBmother Ameal back Gin his little Droom
Hoping Amaybe that the boys will think to Bmphone before the day is Emgone
Well it's Abest they do it soon
When the Dold girl passed away he fell more aApart eyery day
Each had Bmalways Akept the Gother pretty Dwell
But the Akids all said the nursing home was Bmbest
Cause he couldn't live aEmlone
First GChristmas aAway from Dhome
AIn the Common Room they've got the biggest tree
And it's huge and cold and Dlifeless
Not like Git ought to Dbe
AAnd the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
It's not that same old Bmsilver star you once made for your Emown
First GChristmas aAway from Dhome
First CGhristmas awAay from hDome
