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 that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.


CHORUS:
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
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 to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door,
With a blooming and beautiful bride;
But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
CHORUS



My grandfather said
That of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found;
For it wasted no time,
And 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 hand never hung by its side.
But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
CHORUS


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 of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the 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.
CHORUS

this song made me cry
i heard this on the night before school
and its the jap version sang by ken hirikai

he sang very sincerely can???

i had never never heard this song for years and memories sort of flood back
i never really knew my grandpa alot cause he died when i was young
but then my parents told me when i go to my auntie's house the first thing i'll do is to run to his room and call him

i do faintly remember running to his room and see that old man lying in bed
i didn't understand whats stroke then
i didn't know then why my dad keeps coming back from work then bathe and rush off to my aunts house
i didn't understand what happened afew months later when i walk with crying relatives along the road...

but i have one thing to be happy about
he believed in god before he left

at least i understand then what my father meant by he is in heaven now














oops sorry if i made u emo

i just realised what a screwed person i am
i can't socialise

i just can't

thats why even my dad get pissed with me for not replying
thats why my friends think its like talking to a wall
i dun blame them
i never really told them anything deep inside

i ran out of people who understands me...
many whom i regret letting go



i feel lonely

thats why this blogs main purpose is for me to understand myself
and i try to hide that pain through many things
those things which i thought could replace that emptiness could not last as u said it would
noting in the world can

i know after reading that many would want to slap me
or
ask why didn't i tell you that i feel like that
or
say i'm way too sensitive


do not ask for the correct reply cause i don't know it
only that special person could

i dunno who
but i hope he/she could come and cheer me up
so i pray hard and wish god's reply could come soon



end~!
