My grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
But it did weight not a penny's weight more
Ninety years without slumbering tic tac tic
His life's seconds numbering tic tac tic
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
It was on a moon the day he was run
He was always betterr and aprise
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
Yes it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died
