Where are my boys?
They are in deepest water
Where are they now?
They are over the hill and far away
But they are broken men who lie low
Waiting for miracles

Old men of rock and roll
Came bearing music
Where are they now?
They are over the hill and far away
But they're still gonna play guitars
On dead strings, and old drums
They'll play and play to pass the time
The old wild men
Old wild men
Old wild men, waiting for miracles

Lord have mercy upon the many
Lord have mercy upon the few
Lord have mercy upon the many
Lord have mercy on me and on you

    My Interpretation
    This is a beautiful song about old rocknroll stars who doesn't realize when their time are long gone. I guess it's about life in general, now more than ever. We never grow old, just play and play, waiting for miracles. One of many golden moments from one of the most important pop bands during the seventies.
