Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

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

His grin stretched the of his pasty white cheeks
And his lips hurled a dollop of on the curb
And the lights the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
That flashed in his hollow stare

He said, "Little girl, you can off my legs
And then peel off my if you want to
But I'd rather you took this old puppet me
That I hold in my as we speak"

And he looking down at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bewildered
Then he lifted the for the young girl to see
And a giant grew on his face

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

tried in vain 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

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

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

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd flutter and
Soaring and suspended 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 part of
She glanced the village sure to find the evil men
Who rob and in the darkest hour of night

Nervously she fumbled for the pouch that the puppet on her rump
Feeling outnumbered Esther hid behind
A nearby pile of lumber, she waited till the dawn
'Cause it have been a blunder
To succumb to a 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 she heard a sound
It was an mob of joggers coming up to knock her down

As Esther stood and shook her the joggers were approaching
And she she had no choice left but to swim
As the frosty water sank its bitter teeth into her
She tried to slide the heavy from her skin

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

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