Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she at the bucket bewildered
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 thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with puppet high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people looked

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

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

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

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

And she to plummet earthward
Till she in the nasty part of town
She glanced the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and in the darkest hour of night

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

the morning came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake lay beside the town
At last a peaceful moment, but she she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of 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 frosty water sank its bitter into her hide
She tried to slide the heavy from her skin

Naked now she her way toward the shore
When suddenly she felt a tiny at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten its tiny
arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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