Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous
That flashed in his hollow stare

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And she began to plummet
Till she landed in the 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 pouch held the puppet on her rump
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited till the
'Cause it would have been a
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 angry mob of joggers coming up to her down

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

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

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