Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin 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 sparkle
That flashed in his hollow eyed

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And then peel off my socks if you to
But I'd you took 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 eyes and she couldn't
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with held high
And a hush filled the and the people looked mean

Esther in vain to pacify the mob
Quibble to spat, to wrangle, then to brawl
The frenzied congregation struggled to fetch
The pretty puppet snugly nestled deep in Esther's sack

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

But the wind was harder
And her began to billow, until finally her feet began to lift
And she above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll set adrift

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and
and turning suspended on air
With the earth far below they'd tumble
And dive through the

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

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

When the morning came, she wandered the streets
Along the chilly lake lay beside the town
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 joggers were
And she knew she had no left but to swim
As the frosty water its bitter teeth into her hide
She tried to slide the heavy clothing her skin

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

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