Sixty Years On - Elton John
Lyrics by:Bernard John Taupin/Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Composed by:Bernard John Taupin/Reginald Kenneth Dwight
Who'll walk me down to
Church when I'm sixty years of age
When the ragged dog they gave
Me has been ten years in the grave
And senorita play guitar
Play it just for you
My rosary has broken and my
Beads have all slipped through
You've hung up your great coat
And you've laid down your gun
You know the war you fought
In wasn't too much fun
And the future you're
Giving me holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living sixty years on
Yes I'll sit with you and
Talk let your eyes relive again
I know my vintage prayers would
Be very much the same
And Magdelena plays the organ
Plays it just for you
Your choral lamp that burns
So low when you are passing through
And the future you're giving
Me holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living sixty years on
