[00:00.00]Grandfather's Clock - 平井堅 (ひらい けん)
[00:04.99]詞：WORK HENRY CLAY
[00:09.98]曲：WORK HENRY CLAY
[00:14.97]My grandfather's clock
[00:17.33]Was too large for the shelf
[00:20.27]So it stood ninety years on the floor
[00:24.17]
[00:26.08]It was taller by half
[00:28.99]Than the old man himself
[00:31.28]
[00:31.85]Though it weighed not a pennyweight
[00:35.19]
[00:35.84]More
[00:36.60]
[00:37.86]It was bought on the morn
[00:40.57]Of the day that he was born
[00:43.60]And was always his treasure and pride
[00:47.66]
[00:49.55]But it stopped short
[00:51.68]
[00:53.34]Never to go again
[00:54.59]
[00:55.33]When the old man died
[01:00.47]
[01:01.39]Ninety years without slumbering
[01:04.24]Tick  tock  tick  tock
[01:07.76]His life seconds numbering
[01:10.01]
[01:10.70]Tick  tock  tick  tock
[01:13.11]
[01:13.66]It stopped short
[01:15.19]
[01:16.18]Never to go again
[01:18.22]
[01:18.83]When the old man died
[01:23.19]
[01:25.06]It watching its pendulum
[01:28.05]Swing to and fro
[01:30.51]Many hours had he spent while a boy
[01:34.89]
[01:36.47]And in childhood and manhood
[01:39.68]The clock seemed to know
[01:42.18]And to share both his grief and his joy
[01:46.60]
[01:48.08]For it struck twenty-four
[01:50.27]
[01:50.97]When he entered at the door
[01:53.42]
[01:53.98]With a blooming and beautiful bride
[01:58.46]
[01:59.81]But it stopped short
[02:02.18]
[02:03.73]Never to go again
[02:05.02]
[02:05.65]When the old man died
[02:10.36]
[02:44.09]For it struck twenty-four
[02:46.61]When he entered at the door
[02:49.03]
[02:49.67]With a blooming and beautiful bride
[02:53.63]
[02:55.48]But it stopped short
[02:57.76]
[02:59.17]Never to go again
[03:00.61]
[03:01.54]When the old man died
[03:05.30]
[03:07.29]It rang an alarm
[03:10.13]In the dead of the night
[03:12.90]An alarm that for years had been dumb
[03:17.17]
[03:18.91]And we knew that his spirit
[03:21.72]Was pluming for flight
[03:23.88]
[03:24.66]That his hour of departure had come
[03:28.90]
[03:30.52]Still the clock kept the time
[03:33.41]With a soft and muffled chime
[03:36.45]As we silently stood by his side
[03:40.59]
[03:42.30]But it stopped short
[03:44.96]
[03:46.08]Never to go again
[03:47.44]
[03:48.11]When the old man died
[03:52.07]
[03:54.03]Ninety years without slumbering
[03:57.10]Tick  tock  tick  tock
[04:00.65]His life seconds numbering
[04:03.58]Tick  tock  tick  tock
[04:06.40]It stopped short
[04:07.86]
[04:09.46]Never to go again
[04:10.80]
[04:11.60]When the old man died
[04:15.57]
[04:17.98]It stopped short
[04:19.57]
[04:20.95]Never to go again
[04:22.69]
[04:28.47]When the old man died
