Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his hurled a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a 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
That I in my pail as we speak"

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

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

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

Through the window of the church, a storm began to
And Esther the time had come to flee
She scurried down the toward 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 finally her feet to lift
And she rose above the and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll were set

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

And she to plummet earthward
Till she landed in the nasty part of
She about the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and pillage in the darkest hour of

Nervously she for the pouch that held the puppet on her rump
Feeling quite outnumbered hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, she waited till the dawn
it would have been a blunder
To succumb to a on the prowl

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

As stood and shook her head the joggers were approaching
And she knew she had no choice but to swim
As the frosty sank its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the clothing from her skin

Naked now she made her way the shore
When suddenly she a tiny tugging at her toe
And the she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her and wouldn't let her go

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