Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights from the rides a mischievous sparkle
flashed 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 took this old from me
That I hold in my as we speak"

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

She saw the doll's eyes and she couldn't
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst the door with puppet held high
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 nestled deep in leather sack

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

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

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

And she to plummet earthward
Till she 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 pouch that held the puppet on her
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A pile of lumber, where she waited till the dawn
'Cause it would have been a
To succumb to a hoodlum on the

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

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she felt a tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its
arms around her ankle and wouldn't let her go

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