|
My grandfather's clock
|
was too large for the shelf
|
|
So it stood ninety years on the floor
|
It was taller by far than the old man himself
|
Though it weighed not a penny weigh 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 seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock
|
|
It stopped short never to go again
|
When the old man died
|
|
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 seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock
|
|
It stopped short never to go again
|
When the old man died
|
