Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

In the little town of Candor in the year of my youth
I learned the final lesson of the to the truth
My father was a farmer go tilling in the ground
My was a neighbor she'd go visiting around

But I didn't
For I had found the answer to a lonely prayer
She was the daughter of the

The Mayor my courtship for he'd made other plans
He saw her married to a man than a boy with farmer's hands
I said, I your father, it's so hard not to strike him
She said, you know I love you because so much like him

And so I'd go in the evening
And there she'd stand a in the dawn as I was leaving

But the Mayor of lied
When he me his only daughter
The of Candor tried
To take her across the
a thing to do to a young man in love
What a thing to do to your

One day with father on his tractor and off again
I go to the mayor and work out what I can
But he is not at his office, he is not at his
When I find him in the countryside he is not

He is holding a woman and my surprise
As she jumps from his arms, I look into my mother's eyes

All my of outrage, embarrassment and pain
Were washed away by what roaring through my brain
The Mayor's at my mercy and I my own voice say
Your run for re-election is just one month

And the world will never know of what I've here, sir
But I'll be with your daughter, is my meaning

My looks in horror at the compromise we made
But the Mayor's rueful smile the piper must be paid
I had a of joy in heaven from this deal I'd made in hell
was to happen then my friend a prophet could not tell

The day after his and the victory celebration
The Mayor takes his family on a month long foreign

Oh Coleen, you know how much I you
There is no one I'd ever above you
Oh Coleen, you don't know me
To you there's nothing that's below me

But time always passes all
And as the follows spring so does the winter follow fall

The day that they return I stand waiting on the
I watch the car drive up, I the passengers unload
Of course she isn't there, of course I should have
The says that she has stayed, the decision was her own

I spit out my and my fury at his lies
When he says you tried to blackmail me, just as bad as I
He says, go and do damndest, throw your mother to the streets
You know it's been too many years, I had to be

And as he stands there saying we're just two of a
It hits me like a exploding in my mind

As I into his leering aged wrinkled mirror of my own face
He laughs and sneers and says, of course son
Where do you think you from in the first place?

The Mayor of Candor
When he offered me his daughter
The of Candor tried
To her across the water
What a thing to do to a man in love
What a to do to your daughter
