Luyện nghe bài hát Leslie Is Different

The neighbor up the brought the message
Joe and May had a phone
Five grown and gone to college
Now they lived out on Pewaukee alone
And the nurse at the big Milwaukee
Said "We've got a baby here with no
It's retarded, it's got palsy
Six old living only to die
And we remembered the tiny
Used to hire out as a
May Lemke, will you this broken child off our hands?"
And God a fool 'cause she said yes. She said:

Leslie is
Like in the world
He's kind of awkward, he's of fragile
Kind of graceful, of tough
kind of slow, he's kind of clever
He's Leslie and that's enough.

Not a tear, not a smile, not a
But they held him and rocked him and him to sleep
And to him as if he really heard
And he grew with the sun and
Though his body was and small
And a times they stood him with his hands upon the fence
And a times watched him fall
And their daughters warned it was
They said, "Mama, that boy will your heart."
She said, "Love never comes

May used to play the
And the old songs from the war

And the records she at the store
And sometimes they he was listening
Though of there was no way to know
Maybe he was flying in his own sky
Where no one else would go
Maybe he was in a forest
Where demons and woodspirits

taken one step for himself. But they said:

Along three in the morning
A ripple of music the night
Joe's fallen asleep at the TV
May reached over to turn on the
But the music getting louder
And the TV was quiet and
was playing the piano
And his fingers agile and bold
A Tchaikovsky concerto
Like water over a dam
A river of ecstasy flowed his hands
And each note out, "I am." Because
