Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin stretched the folds of his white cheeks
And his hurled a dollop 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 chop off my
And then peel off my if you want to
But I'd rather you took this old from me
That I in my pail as we speak"

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

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

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

Through the of the church, a storm began to rage
And Esther knew the time had to flee
She scurried 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 skirt began to billow, until finally her feet to lift
And she rose the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the were set adrift

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

And she to plummet earthward
she landed 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 held the puppet on her rump
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she till the dawn
'Cause it have been a blunder
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

When the morning came, she wandered the streets
Along the chilly lake that lay the town
At a peaceful moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of joggers up to knock her down

As Esther stood and shook her head the joggers were
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 heavy clothing her skin

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

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