Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

It was late one fall night at a fairground town
Esther first saw the Armenian man
Who toward her and stood by her side
With a that swung in his hand

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides a mischievous sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And then off my socks if you want to
But I'd rather you this old puppet from me
That I in my pail as we speak"

And he stood down at the innocent girl
And she at the bucket bewildered
Then he lifted the doll for the girl to see
And a giant smile on his face

She saw the doll's eyes and she resist
And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the
And she burst through the door with puppet held
And a hush filled the and the people looked mean

Esther tried in to pacify the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to
The congregation struggled desperately to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather

Through the window of the church, a storm began to
And Esther knew the time had to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the doorway in the
And out the rainstorm where she felt she would be free

But the wind was harder
And her skirt began to billow, until finally her feet began to
And she above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll were set

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far them they'd tumble
And dive through the

And she began to earthward
Till she landed in the nasty part of
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest of night

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch held the puppet on her rump
quite outnumbered Esther hid behind
A pile of lumber, where she waited till the dawn
'Cause it have been a blunder
To succumb to a on the prowl

When the morning came, she wandered through the
the chilly lake that lay beside the town
At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a
It was an mob of joggers coming up to knock her down

As Esther stood and shook her head the were approaching
And she she had no choice left but to swim
As the water sank its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the clothing from her skin

Naked now she made her way the shore
suddenly she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd wrapped its tiny
Little around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

The waves to open and swallow her whole
As the doll her down through the eerie green deep
And the sound of the laughing old man her ears
As she drifted to a tranquil and motionless sleep
