Goodbye Norma Jean |
[00:10.230] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[00:13.250] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[00:16.750] |
While those around you crawled |
[00:21.750] |
They crawled out of the woodwork |
[00:25.560] |
And they whispered into your brain |
[00:28.810] |
They set you on the treadmill |
[00:31.820] |
And they made you change your name |
[00:37.620] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[00:41.510] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[00:45.310] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[00:49.000] |
When the rain set in |
[00:53.000] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[00:56.260] |
But I was just a kid |
[00:59.500] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[01:03.070] |
Your legend ever did |
[01:18.810] |
Loneliness was tough |
[01:21.310] |
The toughest role you ever played |
[01:25.060] |
Hollywood created a superstar |
[01:28.630] |
And pain was the price you paid |
[01:33.440] |
Even when you died |
[01:37.450] |
Oh the press still hounded you |
[01:40.500] |
All the papers had to say |
[01:43.560] |
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude |
[01:49.300] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[01:53.160] |
like a candle in the wind |
[01:56.660] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[02:00.470] |
When the rain set in |
[02:04.600] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[02:07.850] |
But I was just a kid |
[02:10.910] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[02:14.720] |
Your legend ever did |
[02:30.370] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:33.170] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[02:36.490] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[02:39.800] |
While those around you crawled |
[02:45.490] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:48.240] |
From the young man in the 22nd row |
[02:52.220] |
Who sees you as something as more than sexual |
[02:55.340] |
More than just our Marilyn Monroe |
[02:59.910] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[03:04.380] |
like a candle in the wind |
[03:08.260] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[03:12.060] |
When the rain set in |
[03:15.940] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[03:19.190] |
But I was just a kid |
[03:22.380] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:26.380] |
Your legend ever did |
[03:31.940] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:35.880] |
Your legend ever did |
