[00:00.00] 作曲 : Unknown[00:09.50]My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf[00:15.09]So, it stood ninety years on the floor[00:18.94]It was taller by half than the old man himself[00:25.28]And it weighed not a penny's weight more[00:29.18]It was bought on the morn that my grandpa was born[00:35.32]And was always his treasure and pride[00:39.27]But it stopped short, never to go again[00:45.61]When the old man died[00:49.38]Ninety years without slumbering[00:53.31]His life's seconds numbering[00:59.25]But it stopped short, never to go again[01:06.62]When the old man died[01:10.51]My grandfather said that of those he could hire[01:26.91]Not a servant so faithful he'd found[01:30.72]For it wasted no time and it had but one desire[01:37.02]At the close of each week to be wound[01:40.80]Yes, it kept in its place but not a frown upon its face[01:47.00]And its hands never hung by its side[01:50.97]But it stopped short, never to go again[01:57.30]When the old man died[02:01.28]It rang an alarm in the dead of the night[02:17.43]An alarm that for years had been dumb[02:21.32]And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight[02:27.66]That his hour for departure had come[02:31.51]Yes, the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime[02:37.76]As we stood there and watched by his side[02:41.70]But it stopped short, never to go again[02:48.09]When the old man died[02:51.97]Ninety years without slumbering[02:56.52]His life's seconds numbering[03:01.93]But it stopped short, never to go again[03:09.35]When the old man died[03:13.43]
