Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His stretched the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

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

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

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

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

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

Floating higher over the
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 plummet
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 that the puppet on her rump
Feeling quite outnumbered Esther hid
A nearby pile of lumber, where she till the dawn
'Cause it would been a blunder
To succumb to a hoodlum on the

the morning came, she wandered through the streets
Along the chilly lake that lay 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 stood and shook her the joggers 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 the shore
When suddenly she a tiny tugging at her toe
And the puppet she'd forgotten wrapped its
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

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