Grandfather's Clock - Sam Cooke (萨姆·库克)[00:00:00]

Now my grandfather's clock[00:00:06]

Was too large for the shelf[00:00:10]

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

It was taller by half than the old man himself[00:00:20]

Though it weighed not a penny's weight more[00:00:28]

Now it was bought on the morn[00:00:34]

Of the date that he was born[00:00:38]

And was always his treasure and pride[00:00:42]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:49]

When the old man died[00:00:56]

Now my grandfather said[00:01:03]

That of those he could hire[00:01:07]

Not a servant so faithful he'd found[00:01:10]

For it wasted no time and it had[00:01:17]

But one desire[00:01:22]

At the close of each week to be wound[00:01:24]

And it kept in its place[00:01:31]

Not a frown upon its face[00:01:34]

And its hands never hung by its side[00:01:38]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:01:44]

When the old man died[00:01:52]

Now it rang an alarm in the dead of the night[00:01:59]

An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:02:06]

And we knew that his spirit[00:02:12]

Was pluming for flight[00:02:16]

That his hour for departure had come[00:02:20]

Still that clock kept the time[00:02:26]

With a soft and muffled chime[00:02:30]

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

But it stopped short never to go again[00:02:40]

When the old man died[00:02:47]

You know that it stopped short never to go again[00:02:53]

When the old boy died[00:03:01]
