Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

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

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

And he stood looking at the innocent girl
And she at the bucket bewildered
Then he lifted the doll for the young to see
And a smile 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 through the door with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the people looked

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

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

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

Floating over the hills
And the valleys and they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
the earth far below them they'd tumble
And dive the clouds

And she began to earthward
she landed in the nasty part of town
She glanced about the village sure to the evil men
Who rob and in the darkest hour of night

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

When the morning came, she wandered through the
Along the lake that lay beside the town
At last a peaceful moment, but she thought she 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 she had no choice left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its teeth into 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 she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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