Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

It was late one night at a fairground near town
When Esther first saw the man
Who groveled toward her and by her side
With a that swung in his hand

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That in his hollow eyed stare

He said, "Little girl, you can chop off my
And then peel off my socks if you to
But I'd rather you took this old puppet me
That I hold in my as we speak"

And he looking down at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bewildered
Then he the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant smile on his face

She saw the doll's and she couldn't resist
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with puppet held
And a hush filled the chapel and the people looked

Esther tried in to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to
The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to
The pretty puppet snugly deep in Esther's leather sack

the window of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had come to
She scurried down the aisle the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm she felt she would be free

But the wind was harder
And her skirt began to billow, until her feet began to lift
And she rose the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the were set adrift

Floating higher over the
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and turning on air
With the earth far below they'd tumble
And through the clouds

And she to plummet earthward
she landed in the nasty part of town
She glanced the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that held the on her rump
Feeling quite outnumbered Esther hid
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited till the
'Cause it have been a blunder
To succumb to a on the prowl

the morning came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly that lay beside the town
At last a moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an mob of joggers coming up to knock her down

As stood and shook her head the joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the clothing from her skin

Naked now she made her way toward the
When suddenly she felt a tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

The waves to open and swallow her whole
As the doll her down through the eerie green deep
And the sound of the old man filled her ears
As she drifted away to a tranquil and sleep
