[00:10.64]My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
[00:13.88]So it stood ninety years on the floor
[00:18.16]It was taller by half than the old man himself
[00:23.27]Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
[00:25.66]
[00:27.15]It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
[00:32.83]And was always his treasure and pride
[00:36.16]But it stopped, short never to go again
[00:40.69]When the old man died
[00:43.98]
[00:45.17]Ninety years without slumbering
[00:49.80]His life seconds numbering
[00:54.28]It stopped, short never to go again
[00:58.56]When the old man died
[01:01.64]
[01:03.28]My grandfather said that of those he could hire
[01:07.98]Not a servant so faithful he found
[01:12.16]For it wasted no time and had but one desire
[01:16.57]At the close of each week to be wound
[01:19.82]
[01:21.02]And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face
[01:25.50]And its hands never hung by its side
[01:30.03]But it stopped short, never to go again
[01:34.56]When the old man died
[01:37.74]
[01:41.57]It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night
[01:46.00]An alarm that for years had been dumb
[01:50.23]And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
[01:54.86]That his hour for departure had come
[01:57.59]
[01:59.05]Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
[02:03.67]As we silently stood by his side
[02:08.10]But it stopped short, never to go again
[02:12.48]When the old man died
[02:15.42]
[02:17.06]Ninety years without slumbering
[02:21.79]His life seconds numbering
[02:26.07]It stopped short, never to go again
[02:30.30]When the old man died
