Artist/Band: Nanci Griffith
Lyrics for Song: Marilyn Monroe/neon And Waltzes
Lyrics for Album: Poet In My Window [2002]



Sun will stop shinin' and hearts will stop poundin'

The screen is so lonely tonight

The men are out prayin' and the women are sayin'

She died for the loss of her prime and lived on DiMaggio time



So farewell you old tinsel city

With your waltz in the mornin' and your neon at night

I've bathed in your loneliness, drank of your wine

And I lived on DiMaggio time



And hearts felled to paradise still rest in her eyes

She was no fading light



Oh, hot night in August, so long to the goddess

America's fatherless child

Immortal's forever, the queen of the camera

The master of winkin' a smile and leaving her shadow behind



So farewell you old tinsel city

With your waltz in the mornin' and your neon at night

I've bathed in your loneliness, drank of your wine

And I lived on DiMaggio time



Well, farewell you old tinsel city

With your waltz in the mornin' and your neon at night

I've bathed in your loneliness, drank of your wine

And I lived on DiMaggio time
