about

Track 10 from 'Ponds' album

A friend (his idea) and I arranged this song many years ago. This is my much later attempt.

lyrics

Well 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 weighed not a pennyweight more.

It was bought on the morn that the old man was born
It was always his joy and his pride
And it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering
(tick, tock, tick, tock)
His life seconds numbering
(tick, tock, tick)
And it stopped short, never to go again
When the old man died
