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
a bucket that swung in his hand

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his 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 stood looking down at the innocent
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the doll for the girl to see
And a giant grew on his face

She saw the doll's eyes and she resist
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the looked mean

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

Through the of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the
And out the rainstorm where 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 above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And and the doll were set adrift

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and they'd flutter and glide
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far below them tumble
And through the clouds

And she began to earthward
Till she landed in the nasty part of
She glanced about the village sure to the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

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

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

As Esther stood and shook her head the joggers 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 heavy clothing 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 wrapped its
Little arms around her and wouldn't let her go

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