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 he'd go in the ground
My mother was a neighbor she'd go visiting

But I care
For I had found the answer to a lonely prayer
She was the of the Mayor

The Mayor fought my courtship for he'd made plans
He saw her to a better man than a boy with farmer's hands
I said, I hate 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 of Candor lied
When he offered me his daughter
The Mayor of Candor
To take her across the
a thing to do to a young man in love
What a thing to do to daughter

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh Coleen, you know how I love you
is no one I'd ever place above you
Oh Coleen, you even know me
To have you there's nothing below me

But time always after all
And as the summer follows spring so does the winter follow

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

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

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

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

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