Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the doll for the young to see
And a giant smile grew on his

She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with puppet held
And a filled the chapel and the people looked mean

Esther tried in to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to
The pretty snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack

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

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

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

And she began to earthward
Till she in the nasty part of town
She glanced the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that held the on her rump
Feeling quite outnumbered hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
'Cause it would have a blunder
To succumb to a 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 a sound
It was an mob of joggers coming up to knock her down

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

Naked now she made her way the shore
When suddenly she felt a tiny at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

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