[00:09.71]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......
