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

My grandfather's clock; Was too large for the shelf[00:00:09]

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

It was taller by half than the old man himself[00:00:18]

Though it weighed not a penny-weight more;[00:00:22]

It was bought on the morn; Of the day that he was born[00:00:26]

And was always his treasure and pride[00:00:31]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:35]

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

Ninety years without slumbering[00:00:44]

His life seconds numbering[00:00:49]

It stopped short never to go again[00:00:54]

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

My grandfather said that of those he could hire[00:01:03]

Not a servant so faitful he found[00:01:07]

For it wasted no time and had but one desire[00:01:11]

At the close of each week to be wound[00:01:16]

And it kept in its' place; not a frown upon its' face[00:01:20]

And its' hands never hung by its side[00:01:25]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:01:29]

When the old man died [00:01:34]

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night[00:01:41]

An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:01:45]

And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight[00:01:49]

That his hour for departure had come [00:01:54]

Still the clock kept the time; with its' soft and muffled chimes[00:01:58]

As we proudly stood by his side[00:02:03]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:02:07]

When the old man died [00:02:12]

Ninety years without slumbering[00:02:16]

It stopped short never to go again[00:02:26]

When the old man died [00:02:30]
