Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That 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 you took this old puppet from me
That I in my pail as we speak"

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket
he lifted the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant smile on his face

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

Esther tried in vain to the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The congregation struggled desperately to fetch
The puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack

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

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

Floating over the hills
And the valleys and they'd flutter and glide
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far below they'd tumble
And dive the clouds

And she to plummet earthward
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She glanced about the village to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the hour of night

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

When the came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake that lay beside the
At last a moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to her down

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When she felt a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her and wouldn't let her go

The waves seemed to open and her whole
As the doll pulled her down through the eerie green
And the sound of the laughing old man filled her
As she drifted away to a and motionless sleep
