Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

It was late one fall night at a fairground near
When Esther saw the Armenian man
Who groveled toward her and stood by her
With a bucket that in his hand

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

He said, "Little girl, you can chop off my
And peel 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 looking down at the innocent girl
And she at the bucket bewildered
Then he lifted the doll for the young to see
And a giant grew on his face

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

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

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

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

higher over the hills
And the and treetops they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
the earth far below them they'd tumble
And through the clouds

And she began to plummet
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 of night

Nervously she fumbled for the that held the puppet on her rump
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
it would have been a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

When the morning came, she wandered through the
the chilly lake that 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 and shook her head the joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no choice but to swim
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her
She tried to slide the heavy from her skin

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

The waves seemed to open and swallow her
As the doll pulled her down the eerie green deep
And the sound of the laughing old man her ears
As she away to a tranquil and motionless sleep
