Luyện nghe bài hát The Mayor of Candor Lied

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

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

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

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

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

One day with on his tractor and mother off again
I go to find the mayor and 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 his arms, I look into my mother's eyes

All my thoughts of outrage, and pain
Were washed away by what roaring through my brain
The at my mercy 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 I'll be with your daughter, is my clear?

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

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

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

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

The day that return I stand waiting 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 fury at his
When he says you tried to blackmail me, just as bad as I
He says, go and do your damndest, throw your to the streets
You know it's too many years, I had to be discreet

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

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

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