《Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandfather's Clock - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

[00:00:05] My grandfather's clock

[00:00:07] Was too large for the shelf

[00:00:10] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:14] It was taller by half

[00:00:17] Than the old man himself

[00:00:19] Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

[00:00:24] It was bought on the morn

[00:00:26] Of the day that he was born

[00:00:29] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:34] But it stopped short

[00:00:37] Never to go again

[00:00:38] When the old man died

[00:00:44] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:47] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:49] His life seconds numbering

[00:00:51] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:54] It stopped short

[00:00:56] Never to go again

[00:00:58] When the old man died

[00:01:08] In watching it's pendulum

[00:01:10] Swing to and fro

[00:01:12] Many hours had he spent while a boy

[00:01:17] And in childhood and manhood

[00:01:20] The clock seemed to know

[00:01:22] And to share both his grief and his joy

[00:01:26] For it struck twenty-four

[00:01:28] When he entered at the door

[00:01:31] With a blooming and beautiful bride

[00:01:35] But it stopped short

[00:01:38] Never to go again

[00:01:40] When the old man died

[00:01:45] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:48] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:50] His life seconds numbering

[00:01:52] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:55] It stopped short

[00:01:57] Never to go again

[00:01:59] When the old man died

[00:02:09] It rang an alarm

[00:02:11] In the dead of the night

[00:02:14] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:02:19] And we knew that his spirit

[00:02:21] Was pluming his flight

[00:02:24] That his hour of departure had come

[00:02:29] Still the clock kept the time

[00:02:32] With a soft and muffled chime

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

[00:02:40] But it stopped short

[00:02:44] Never to go again

[00:02:46] When the old man died

[00:02:52] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:02:55] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:57] His life seconds numbering

[00:03:00] Tick tock tick tock

[00:03:02] It stopped short

[00:03:05] Never to go again

[00:03:07] When the old man died

[00:03:14] Tick tock
