Sixty Years On

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album elton john

Wholl walk me down to church when Im sixty years of age
When the ragged dog they gave me has been ten years in the grave
And seorita play guitar, play it just for you
My rosary has broken and my beads have all slipped through

Youve hung up your great coat and youve laid down your gun
You know the war you fought in wasnt too much fun
And the future youre giving me holds nothing for a gun
Ive no wish to be living sixty years on

Yes Ill 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 youre giving me holds nothing for a gun
Ive no wish to be living sixty years on
