[00:02.29]Grandfather's Clock
[00:05.01]平井堅
[00:08.85]
[00:14.13]My grandfather's clock
[00:17.37]Was too large for the shelf
[00:20.25]So it stood ninety years on the floor
[00:26.14]It was taller by half
[00:29.08]Than the old man himself
[00:32.03]Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
[00:36.73]
[00:38.01]It was bought on the morn
[00:40.84]Of the day that he was born
[00:43.78]And was always his treasure and pride
[00:49.55]But it stopped short
[00:53.08]Never to go again
[00:55.58]When the old man died
[01:00.24]
[01:01.38]Ninety years without slumbering
[01:04.82]Tick, Tock Tick, Tock
[01:07.66]His life seconds numbering
[01:10.63]Tick, Tock, Tick Tock
[01:13.51]It stopped short
[01:16.33]Never to go again
[01:18.84]When the old man died
[01:24.53]
[01:24.94]In watching its pendulum
[01:27.82]Swing to and fro
[01:30.60]Many hours had he spent while a boy
[01:36.44]And in childhood and manhood
[01:39.85]The clock seemed to know
[01:42.57]And to share both his grief and his joy
[01:47.72]
[01:48.40]For it struck twenty-four
[01:51.26]When he entered at the door
[01:54.08]With a blooming and beautiful bride
[01:59.75]But it stopped short
[02:03.40]Never to go again
[02:05.84]When the old man died
[02:15.72]
[02:43.45]For it struck twenty-four
[02:46.78]When he entered at the door
[02:49.86]With a blooming and beautiful bride
[02:55.89]But it stopped short
[02:59.01]Never to go again
[03:01.53]When the old man died
[03:07.04]
[03:07.47]It rang an alarm
[03:10.34]In the dead of the night
[03:13.24]An alarm that for years had been dumb
[03:19.16]And we knew that his spirit
[03:22.08]Was pluming for flight
[03:25.15]That his hour of departure had come
[03:29.85]
[03:30.99]Still the clock kept the time
[03:33.72]With a soft and muffled chime
[03:36.68]As we silently stood by his side
[03:42.68]But it stopped short
[03:45.83]Never to go again
[03:48.50]When the old man died
[03:53.65]
[03:54.37]Ninety years without slumbering
[03:57.82]Tick, Tock Tick, Tock
[04:00.61]His life seconds numbering
[04:03.85]Tick, Tock, Tick Tock
[04:06.44]It stopped short
[04:09.18]Never to go again
[04:11.82]When the old man died
[04:18.26]It stopped short
[04:21.19]Never to go again
[04:28.64]When the old man died
[04:36.12]--END--
