Şarkı sözleri
1: 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
Ninety years without slumbering (tick, tock, tick,
Tock) His life's seconds numbering (tick, tock, tick, tock)
It stopped short - never to go again when the old man died
2: In watching its pendulum swing to and
Fro Many hours had he spent while a boy.
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed
To know And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four when he entered in
The door With a blooming 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's seconds numbering (tick, tock, tick,
Tock) It stopped short - never to go again when the old man died
3: 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.
For 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
Ninety years without slumbering (tick, tock, tick,
Tock) His life's seconds numbering (tick, tock, tick,
Tock) It stopped short - never to go again when the old man died
4: 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 plumbing
For flight That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept its 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
Ninety years without slumbering (tick, tick, tick,
Tock) His life's seconds numbering (tick, tock, tick,
Tock) It stopped short - never to go again When the old man died
Yes it stopped short - never to go again
When the old man died
