Sixty Years On

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
