《Grandfathers Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandfathers Clock - Sam Cooke (萨姆·库克)

[00:00:00] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:03] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:06] Now my grandfathers' clock

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

[00:00:13] So it stood 90 years on the floor

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

[00:00:27] Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

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

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

[00:00:41] And it was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:48] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:55] When the old man died

[00:01:01] Oh now my grandfather said

[00:01:06] That of those he could hire

[00:01:09] Not a servant so faithful he found

[00:01:15] For it wasted no time

[00:01:19] And it had but one desire

[00:01:23] And the close of each week to be wound

[00:01:29] And it kept in it's place

[00:01:33] Not a frown on his face

[00:01:36] And his hands never hung by it's side

[00:01:42] But you know that it stopped short

[00:01:47] Never to go again

[00:01:50] When the old man died

[00:01:57] Now rang an alarm

[00:02:00] In the dead of the night

[00:02:04] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:02:10] And we know that his spirit

[00:02:14] Was plumming for flight

[00:02:17] That his hour for departure had come

[00:02:24] Still that clock kept the time

[00:02:28] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:31] As we solemnly stood by his side

[00:02:37] But you know that it stopped short

[00:02:42] Never to go again

[00:02:44] When the old man died

[00:02:51] You know that it stopped short

[00:02:55] Never to go again

[00:02:58] When the old boy died
