Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
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 peel off my socks if you to
But I'd rather you this old puppet from 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 smile grew 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 frenzied congregation desperately to fetch
The puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's leather sack

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

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

Floating over the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and
Soaring and suspended on air
With the far below them they'd tumble
And through the clouds

And she began to plummet
Till she landed in the part of town
She glanced about the village to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

Nervously she fumbled for the that held the puppet on her rump
quite outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited the dawn
'Cause it would have 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 peaceful moment, but she she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of joggers up to knock her down

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

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

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