My Grandfather´s Clock - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:01]

Written by：Henry Clay Work[00:00:02]

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 pennyweight more[00:00:22]

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born[00:00:27]

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

But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:36]

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

Ninety years without slumbering[00:00:45]

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 faithful he found[00:01:08]

For it wasted no time and had but one desire[00:01:12]

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

And it kept in its place not a frown upon its face[00:01:21]

And its hands never hung by its side[00:01:26]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:01:30]

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

It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night[00:01:41]

An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:01:46]

And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight[00:01:50]

That his hour for departure had come[00:01:55]

Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime[00:01:59]

As we silently stood by his side[00:02:04]

But it stopped short never to go again[00:02:08]

When the old man died[00:02:13]

Ninety years without slumbering[00:02:17]

His life seconds numbering[00:02:22]

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

When the old man died[00:02:31]
