<노래말>

 

My Grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

It was bought on the morn of the day 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
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while a boy
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And it shared both his grief and his joy

For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died

Grandfather's clock, tick tock, tick tock
Grandfather's clock, tick tock, tick tock

For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was pluming in flight
That his hour of departure had come

Still the clock kept its time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
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
But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died

But it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died.
