Grandfather's Clock 歌詞
Grandfather's Clock - John Delbridge
My grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller than half than the old man himself
And it weight not a penny's weight more
It was bought on the more
That the day he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering tic tac tic tac
His life's seconds numbering tic tac tic tac
It stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
At watching it's pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours he had spent when a boy
As he grew hood the man
Hood the clock seemed to know
And it sharaed for his scree and his joy
And it struck tewnty four when he entered the door
With his blushing and beautiful bride
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick tock tick tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick tock tick tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Then it rang an alarm in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
That his hour for departure had come
Yes the clock kept the time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we stood there and watched by his side
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick tock tick tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick tock tick tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
