Luyện nghe bài hát Esther (alternate Version)

It was late one fall night at a fairground town
Esther first saw the Armenian man
Who toward her and stood by her side
With a 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 from the rides showed a mischievous sparkle
flashed in his hollow eyed stare

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

And he stood down at the innocent girl
And she stared at the bucket
Then he lifted the 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 thanked the man and ran to the church
And she burst through the door with held high
And a hush filled the and the people looked mean

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

the window of the church, a storm began 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 feet began to
And she above the houses and the people and the chimneys
And Esther and the doll were set

Floating higher the hills
And the valleys and they'd flutter and glide
Soaring and turning on air
With the earth far below them tumble
And through the clouds

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

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

When the came, she wandered through the streets
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 up to knock her down

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

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

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