Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks
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 if you want to
But I'd rather you this old puppet from me
That I in my pail as we speak"

And he stood looking down at the girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the doll for the young 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 through the with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people mean

Esther in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet nestled deep in Esther's 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 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 rose above the houses and the and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll were set

Floating higher over the
And the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and
and turning suspended on air
With the far below them they'd tumble
And dive through the

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

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

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

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

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