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 levels to the
My was a farmer he'd go tilling in the ground
My mother was a neighbor she'd go around

But I didn't
For I had the answer to a plowboy's lonely prayer
She was the of the Mayor

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

And so I'd go sneaking in the
And she'd stand a crying in the dawn as I was leaving

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

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

He is holding a and imagine my surprise
As she jumps back from his arms, I look into my eyes

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

And the world will know of what I've seen here, sir
But I'll be your daughter, is my meaning clear?

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

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

Oh Coleen, you how much I love you
is no one I'd ever place 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 I stand waiting on the road
I watch the car drive up, I the passengers unload
Of course she there, of course I should have known
The Mayor says she has stayed, the decision was her own

I spit out my hatred and my at his lies
When he says you to blackmail me, you're just as bad as I
He says, go and do your damndest, 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 me like a thunderbolt exploding in my mind

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

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