Lyrics for Song: Candle in the Wind [Live]
Lyrics for Album: Love Songs
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 set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name.
And it seems to me that 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 before
Your legend ever did.
Loneliness wa tough,
The toughest role you ever played.
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid,
Even when you died
The pres still hounded you
All that papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude.
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled.
Goodbye Norma Jean,
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual,
Something more than just our Marilyn Monroe.
