Elton John - Sixty Years On lyrics
[Elton John - Sixty Years On lyrics]
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 señorita 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
(Oh, oh)
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
I'm sixty years of age
When the ragged dog they gave me has
Been ten years in the grave?
And señorita 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
(Oh, oh)
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
