Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

In the little town of in the last year of my youth
I learned the final of the levels to the truth
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 found the answer to a lonely prayer
She was the daughter of the

The Mayor fought my courtship for he'd made other
He saw her married to a better man than a boy farmer's hands
I said, I hate father, it's so hard not to strike him
She said, you I love you because you're 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 Candor
he offered me his only daughter
The Mayor of Candor
To take her the water
What a to do to a young man in love
What a to do to your daughter

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
I find him in the countryside he is not alone

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

All my thoughts of outrage, and pain
washed 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 one month away

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

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

The day after his re-election and the victory
The Mayor takes his family on a long foreign vacation

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

But time passes after all
And as the summer follows spring so does the follow fall

The day that they return I stand on the road
I watch the car up, I watch the passengers unload
Of course she isn't there, of course I should 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 tried to 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 hits me like a thunderbolt 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 came from in the place?

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