《Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandfather's Clock - Sam Cooke (萨姆·库克)

[00:00:06] Now my grandfather's clock

[00:00:10] Was too large for the shelf

[00:00:13] So it stood ninety years on the floor

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

[00:00:28] Though it weighed not a penny's weight more

[00:00:34] Now it was bought on the morn

[00:00:38] Of the date that he was born

[00:00:42] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:49] But it stopped short never to go again

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

[00:01:03] Now my grandfather said

[00:01:07] That of those he could hire

[00:01:10] Not a servant so faithful he'd found

[00:01:17] For it wasted no time and it had

[00:01:22] But one desire

[00:01:24] At the close of each week to be wound

[00:01:31] And it kept in its place

[00:01:34] Not a frown upon its face

[00:01:38] And its hands never hung by its side

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

[00:01:52] When the old man died

[00:01:59] Now it rang an alarm in the dead of the night

[00:02:06] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:02:12] And we knew that his spirit

[00:02:16] Was pluming for flight

[00:02:20] That his hour for departure had come

[00:02:26] Still that clock kept the time

[00:02:30] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:34] As we sliently stood by his side

[00:02:40] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:02:47] When the old man died

[00:02:53] You know that it stopped short never to go again

[00:03:01] When the old boy died
