《Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandfather's Clock - John Delbridge

[00:00:11] My grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf

[00:00:16] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:20] It was taller than half than the old man himself

[00:00:25] And it weight not a penny's weight more

[00:00:30] It was bought on the more

[00:00:32] That the day he was born

[00:00:34] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:39] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:43] When the old man died

[00:00:48] Ninety years without slumbering tic tac tic tac

[00:00:53] His life's seconds numbering tic tac tic tac

[00:00:58] It stopped short never to go again

[00:01:02] When the old man died

[00:01:17] At watching it's pendulum swing to and fro

[00:01:21] Many hours he had spent when a boy

[00:01:26] As he grew hood the man

[00:01:28] Hood the clock seemed to know

[00:01:31] And it sharaed for his scree and his joy

[00:01:35] And it struck tewnty four when he entered the door

[00:01:40] With his blushing and beautiful bride

[00:01:44] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:01:49] When the old man died

[00:01:54] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:57] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:59] His life seconds numbering

[00:02:02] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:04] It stopped short

[00:02:07] Never to go again

[00:02:08] When the old man died

[00:02:23] Then it rang an alarm in the dead of the night

[00:02:27] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:02:32] And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

[00:02:37] That his hour for departure had come

[00:02:42] Yes the clock kept the time

[00:02:44] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:47] As we stood there and watched by his side

[00:02:52] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:02:56] When the old man died

[00:03:01] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:03:05] Tick tock tick tock

[00:03:07] His life seconds numbering

[00:03:10] Tick tock tick tock

[00:03:12] It stopped short

[00:03:15] Never to go again

[00:03:17] When the old man died
