Info: My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself Though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped, short never to go again When the old man died Refrain: 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 My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time and had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound Refrain And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face And its hands never hung by its side But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died Refrain It rang and alarmed 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 Refrain Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died Refrain Ninety years without slumbering His life seconds numbering It stopped short, never to go again When the old man died Refrain | |
