Lyrics

[00:08.34] 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
