Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

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

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

And he stood looking down at the girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the 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 the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst the door with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people looked

Esther in vain to pacify the mob
grew to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The congregation struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in leather sack

Through the of the church, a storm began to rage
And knew the time had come 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 was blowing harder
And her skirt began to billow, until finally her feet to lift
And she rose above the and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the were set adrift

Floating over the hills
And the valleys and treetops flutter and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far below them tumble
And dive through the

And she to plummet earthward
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that the puppet on her rump
Feeling quite Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she till the dawn
'Cause it have been a blunder
To to a hoodlum 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 heard a
It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to knock her

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

Naked now she her way toward the shore
suddenly 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 to open and swallow her whole
As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green
And the sound of the laughing old man her ears
As she drifted away to a and motionless sleep
