When We Were the New Boys - Rod Stewart (洛德.斯蒂沃特)

Written by：Rod Stewart/Kevin Savigar/Chris Lord/Alge

With laughing eyes

I do recall

Every face

That crammed this hall

And in this room

Our hats were hung

And words were written

And songs were sung

And we held

Our glasses high

And we dared

To reach for the sky

And we never

Would grow old

When we were the new boys

And on these streets

We were like kings

We'd roll and tumble

Fight and sing

And in these smoky pubs

The yarns were spun

And many a sweetheart

Was lost and won

And on these green fields

We played for pride

No quarter given no compromise

We were lovers and we were sons

When we were the new boys

When we were the new boys

Behind this cellar door

On cheap guitars

We played our blues

Till the early hours

No one listening

But a few old friends

We never dreamed

It could ever end

This was our moment

This was our space

This was a jewel of a time

To have graced

But they're all sweet memories now

When we were the new boys

When we were the new boys

All my life I've been running

Down the side of this hill

But way down deep in my heart

Don't want the water to ever be still

All these friends have long since gone

Blown and scattered like autumn leaves

Some are lawyers and some are thieves

Some are now behind the sun

But I'll never never be afraid

From the cradle to the grave

I learned my lesson and I learned it well

When we were the new boys

When we were the new boys

When we were the new

Oh yea

And we held our glasses high

And we dared to reach for the sky

And we never never would grow old

When we were the new boys

When we were the new boys

When we were the new boys

When we were the new boys
