Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin stretched the folds of his white cheeks
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

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

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

Esther tried in vain to the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in leather sack

Through the window of the church, a storm began to
And Esther knew the time had to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the
And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be

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

Floating higher the hills
And the and treetops they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and turning on air
With the far below them they'd tumble
And dive through the

And she began to plummet
she landed in the nasty part of town
She glanced about the village sure to the evil men
Who rob and in the darkest hour of night

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

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

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she felt a tiny at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its
Little arms around her and wouldn't let her go

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