Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white
And his lips 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 off my legs
And then peel off my socks if you to
But I'd rather you this old puppet from me
That I hold in my as we speak"

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

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

Esther tried in vain to the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in 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 rainstorm where she felt she would be

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

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

And she began to plummet
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She glanced about the village sure to the evil 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 pile of lumber, where she waited till the dawn
'Cause it would been a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

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

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

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

The waves to open and swallow her whole
As the pulled her down through the eerie green deep
And the sound of the laughing old man filled her
As she drifted away to a tranquil and sleep
