Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of murk on the
And the lights from the rides showed a sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed

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

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

She saw the doll's and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people mean

Esther tried in vain to the mob
Quibble grew to spat, to wrangle, then to
The frenzied congregation struggled desperately to
The pretty puppet snugly nestled in Esther's leather sack

Through the window of the church, a began to rage
And knew the time had come to flee
She scurried down the aisle the doorway in the distance
And out into the rainstorm where she she would be free

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

higher over the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far below they'd tumble
And through the clouds

And she to plummet earthward
she landed in the nasty part of town
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

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

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

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she felt a tugging at her toe
And the she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

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