Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

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

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And then peel off my socks if you to
But I'd you took this old puppet from 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 doll for the young to see
And a smile grew on his face

She saw the eyes and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the
And she burst through the door with puppet held
And a hush filled the and the people looked mean

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

Through the window of the church, a storm to rage
And knew the time had come to flee
She scurried down the aisle the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm where she felt she would be

But the wind was blowing
And her skirt began to billow, until her feet began to lift
And she above the houses 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 suspended on air
With the earth far below them they'd
And through the clouds

And she to plummet earthward
she landed in the nasty part 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 that held the puppet on her rump
Feeling quite outnumbered hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
'Cause it would been a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

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

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

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

The waves seemed to open and swallow her
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 tranquil and motionless
