Goodbye Norma Jean |
[00:11.21] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[00:14.08] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[00:17.63] |
While those around you crawled |
[00:22.48] |
They crawled out of the woodwork |
[00:26.97] |
And they whispered into your brain |
[00:29.54] |
They set you on the treadmill |
[00:32.78] |
And they made you change your name |
[00:38.53] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[00:42.30] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[00:46.17] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[00:49.85] |
When the rain set in |
[00:53.60] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[00:57.64] |
But I was just a kid |
[00:59.93] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[01:05.56] |
Your legend ever did |
[01:19.27] |
Loneliness was tough |
[01:21.82] |
The toughest role you ever played |
[01:25.34] |
Hollywood created a superstar |
[01:28.64] |
And pain was the price you paid |
[01:33.71] |
Even when you died |
[01:38.00] |
Oh the press still hounded you |
[01:40.63] |
All the papers had to say |
[01:44.12] |
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude |
[01:49.51] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[01:53.39] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[01:57.19] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[02:00.85] |
When the rain set in |
[02:04.72] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[02:08.74] |
But I was just a kid |
[02:11.04] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[02:16.66] |
Your legend ever did |
[02:38.10] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:40.95] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[02:43.85] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[02:47.38] |
While those around you crawled |
[02:53.34] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:55.73] |
From the young man in the 22nd row |
[02:59.17] |
Who sees you as something more than sexual |
[03:03.47] |
More than just our Marilyn Monroe |
[03:08.20] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[03:12.14] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[03:15.94] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[03:19.55] |
When the rain set in |
[03:23.28] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[03:28.66] |
But I was just a kid |
[03:31.61] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:39.17] |
Your legend ever did |
[03:48.91] |
Your legend ever did |
