(Verse)
|
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
|
You had the grace to hold yourself
|
While those around you crawled
|
They crawled out of the woodwork
|
And they whispered into your brain
|
They put you on the treadmill
|
And they made you change your name
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
|
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
|
And I would liked to known you, but I was just a kid
|
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did
|
|
(Verse)
|
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
|
Hollywood created a superstar
|
And pain was the price you paid
|
Even when you died, all the press still hounded you
|
All the papers had to say
|
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
|
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
|
And I would liked to known you, but I was just a kid
|
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did
|
|
(Verse)
|
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
|
You had the grace to hold yourself
|
While those around you crawled
|
Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man from the trail of 22nd row
|
Who sees you as something more than sexual
|
More than just Marilyn Monroe?
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
|
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
|
And I would have liked to have known you but I was just a kid
|
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did x2
