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 father was a farmer go tilling in the ground
My mother was a neighbor go visiting around

But I care
For I had the answer to a plowboy's lonely prayer
She was the daughter of the

The Mayor fought my for he'd made other plans
He saw her married to a better man than a boy with farmer's
I said, I hate your father, it's so hard not to him
She said, you know I love you 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 lied
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
a thing to do to your daughter

One day with father on his tractor and mother off
I go to find the mayor and work out 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 a woman and imagine my surprise
As she jumps back from his arms, I into my mother's eyes

All my thoughts of outrage, embarrassment and
washed away by what came roaring through my brain
The Mayor's at my and I hear 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 be with your daughter, is my meaning clear?

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

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

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

But always passes after all
And as the summer follows spring so the winter follow fall

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

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

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

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

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