[00:09.30]My grandfather's clock; Was too large for the shelf
[00:13.92]So it stood ninety years on the floor
[00:18.33]It was taller by half than the old man himself
[00:21.88]
[00:22.75]Though it weighed not a penny-weight more;
[00:25.50]
[00:27.00]It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born
[00:31.12]
[00:31.68]And was always his treasure and pride
[00:34.17]
[00:36.04]But it stopped short never to go again
[00:39.79]
[00:40.54]When the old man died.
[00:43.47]
[00:44.97]Ninety years without slumbering
[00:47.09]
[00:48.21]dah dah dah, dah dah
[00:51.08]His life seconds numbering
[00:52.14]dah dah dah, dah dah
[00:54.57]It stopped short never to go again
[00:57.51]
[00:58.57]When the old man died.
[01:01.75]
[01:03.25] my grandfather said that of those he could hire
[01:07.05]
[01:07.74]Not a servant so faitful he found
[01:10.37]
[01:11.99]For it wasted no time and had but one desire
[01:15.98]
[01:16.73]At the close of each week to be wound
[01:19.54]
[01:21.04]And it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face
[01:24.78]
[01:25.65]And its' hands never hung by its side
[01:28.46]
[01:29.96]But it stopped short never to go again
[01:33.76]
[01:34.51]When the old man died.
[01:37.63]
[01:41.44]It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
[01:45.18]
[01:45.87]An alarm that for years had been dumb
[01:48.55]
[01:50.05]And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
[01:54.05]
[01:54.80]That his hour for departure had come.
[01:57.29]
[01:59.04]Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes
[02:03.78]As we proudly stood by his side
[02:06.40]
[02:08.02]But it stopped short never to go again
[02:12.45]When the old man died.
[02:15.45]
[02:17.07]Ninety years without slumbering
[02:18.75]
[02:19.88]dah dah dah, dah dah
[02:22.37]His life seconds numbering
[02:23.93]dah dah dah, dah dah
[02:25.99]It stopped short never to go again
[02:30.11]When the old man died.
[02:33.17]
[02:35.10]Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock......
