Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

higher over the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far them they'd tumble
And dive the clouds

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

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

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

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

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
Little around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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