    Elton John reflects on aging in the song "Sixty Years On." He sings about being 60 years old, with his dog having passed away 10 years prior. He wonders who will walk him down the aisle if he marries at that age. While aging, his rosary beads have broken and slipped through. The singer has no desire to live to be 60, hanging up his coat and gun, knowing the wars he fought were not fun. The future seems to hold nothing for him.
