Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin stretched the folds of his pasty white
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
And the lights from the showed a mischievous sparkle
That in his hollow eyed stare

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
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 looking down at the innocent
And she at the bucket bewildered
Then he lifted the doll for the young 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 door with puppet held
And a hush the chapel and the people looked mean

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

Through the window of the church, a storm to rage
And knew the time had come to flee
She scurried down the aisle toward the 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 began to
And she rose the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll set adrift

Floating higher over the
And the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far below they'd tumble
And through the clouds

And she to plummet earthward
Till she landed in the nasty of town
She glanced about the sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the 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 waited till the
'Cause it would have been a
To to a hoodlum on the prowl

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

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

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

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