Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
And the lights the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow stare

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

And he looking down at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bewildered
Then he lifted the doll for the girl to see
And a giant smile 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 puppet held
And a hush the chapel and the people looked mean

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

the window of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the had come to flee
She down the aisle toward the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm where she felt she be free

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

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

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

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

When the came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake that lay 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 her head the joggers were approaching
And she she had no choice left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her
She tried to slide the heavy clothing her skin

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

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