My grandfather's clock; Was too large for the shelf |
| [00:13.76] |
So it stood ninety years on the floor |
| [00:18.38] |
It was taller by half than the old man himself |
| [00:22.75] |
Though it weighed not a penny-weight more; |
| [00:26.12] |
|
| [00:26.99] |
It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born |
| [00:31.73] |
And was always his treasure and pride |
| [00:35.57] |
|
| [00:36.13] |
But it stopped short never to go again |
| [00:40.50] |
When the old man died. |
| [00:44.06] |
|
| [00:44.99] |
Ninety years without slumbering |
| [00:47.18] |
dah dah dah, dah dah |
| [00:50.30] |
His life seconds numbering |
| [00:51.98] |
|
| [00:52.93] |
dah dah dah, dah dah |
| [00:54.37] |
It stopped short never to go again |
| [00:58.49] |
When the old man died. |
| [01:01.98] |
|
| [01:03.29] |
my grandfather said that of those he could hire |
| [01:07.72] |
Not a servant so faitful he found |
| [01:11.15] |
|
| [01:12.67] |
For it wasted no time and had but one desire |
| [01:16.16] |
|
| [01:16.72] |
At the close of each week to be wound |
| [01:19.97] |
|
| [01:21.17] |
And it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face |
| [01:25.16] |
|
| [01:25.66] |
And its' hands never hung by its side |
| [01:28.97] |
|
| [01:29.97] |
But it stopped short never to go again |
| [01:34.65] |
When the old man died. |
| [01:38.08] |
|
| [01:41.51] |
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night |
| [01:45.94] |
An alarm that for years had been dumb |
| [01:49.13] |
|
| [01:50.50] |
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight |
| [01:54.93] |
That his hour for departure had come. |
| [01:57.92] |
|
| [01:58.92] |
Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes |
| [02:03.85] |
As we proudly stood by his side |
| [02:07.03] |
|
| [02:08.22] |
But it stopped short never to go again |
| [02:12.28] |
When the old man died. |
| [02:16.22] |
|
| [02:17.03] |
Ninety years without slumbering |
| [02:19.28] |
dah dah dah, dah dah |
| [02:21.71] |
His life seconds numbering |
| [02:25.46] |
dah dah dah, dah dah |
| [02:26.58] |
It stopped short never to go again |
| [02:30.32] |
When the old man died. |
| [02:34.07] |
|
| [02:35.07] |
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...... |
