Rod Stewart - When We Were The New Boys Lyrics

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 

Behind this cellar doors on cheap guitars 
We played our blues to 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 

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
