Grandfathers's Clock - Sam Cooke (山姆·库克)
Now 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 penny's weight more
Now it was bought on the morn
Of the date that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Now my grandfather said
That of those he could hire
Not a servant so faithful he'd found
For it wasted no time and it had
But one desire
At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place
Not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side

But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Now 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 for flight
That his hour for departure had come
Still that clock kept the time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we sliently stood by his side
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
You know that it stopped short never to go again
When the old boy died
