Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin stretched the of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous
That in his hollow eyed stare

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And then off my socks if you want to
But I'd rather you this old puppet 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 the doll for the young girl to see
And a giant smile on his face

She saw the doll's and she couldn't resist
And she thanked the man quickly and ran to the
And she burst through the door with puppet held
And a hush filled the chapel and the people mean

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 deep in Esther's leather sack

Through the window of the church, a storm to rage
And Esther knew the time had come to
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 blowing
And her began to billow, until finally her feet began to lift
And she rose the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll set adrift

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

And she to plummet earthward
she landed in the nasty part of town
She glanced about the sure 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
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, where she waited till the
'Cause it would have a blunder
To succumb to a on the prowl

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

As Esther stood and shook her head the were approaching
And she knew she had no choice left but to
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth her hide
She to slide 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 puppet she'd wrapped its tiny
arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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