Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

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

His grin the folds of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his eyed stare

He said, "Little girl, you can chop off my
And then peel off my socks if you 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 at the bucket bewildered
Then he lifted the doll for the young to see
And a giant grew 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 the chapel and the people looked mean

Esther tried in 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 leather

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

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

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

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

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

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

now she made her way toward the shore
When suddenly she a tiny tugging at her toe
And the she'd forgotten wrapped its tiny
Little arms around her ankle and let her go

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