Brandi Carlile - Sixty Years On lyrics
[Brandi Carlile - Sixty Years On lyrics]
I'm sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me has
Been ten years in the grave
Señorita plays guitar
And plays it just for you
My rosary has broken and my
Beads have all slipped through
You've hung up your grey coat and
You've laid down your gun
You know the war you fought
In wasn't too much fun
Ah 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 prayer would
Be very much the same
Magdalena plays the organ
Plays it just for you
My rosary has broken and my
Beads have all slipped through
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
'Cause the future you're giving me
Holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living sixty years on
