Luyện nghe bài hát Esther

It was late one fall night at a near town
When Esther first saw the 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 lips a dollop of murk on the curb
And the lights from the rides showed a mischievous
That in his hollow 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 stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the doll for the young to see
And a giant smile grew on his

She saw the doll's eyes and she resist
And she the man quickly and ran to the church
And she burst the door with puppet held high
And a hush filled the chapel and the looked mean

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

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

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and treetops they'd and glide
Soaring and suspended on air
With the earth far them they'd tumble
And dive the clouds

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

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

the morning came, she wandered through the streets
Along the lake that lay beside the town
At last a moment, but she thought she heard a sound
It was an angry mob of joggers coming up to knock her

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 tried to slide the heavy clothing her skin

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

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