[00:11.31]Goodbye Norma Jean;
[00:12.06]Though I never knew you at all.
[00:14.94]You had the grace to hold yourself
[00:17.31]While those around you crawled.
[00:22.08]They crawled out of the woodwork'
[00:25.26]And they whispered into your brain.
[00:28.20]They set you on the treadmill'
[00:31.14]And they made you change your name.
[00:36.63]And it seems to me you lived your life
[00:39.93]like a candle in the wind:
[00:44.31]Never knowing who to cling to
[00:47.07]when the rain set in.
[00:51.19]And I would have liked to have known you '
[00:56.81]But I was just a kid;
[01:00.88]Your candle burned out long before
[01:02.25]your legend ever did.
[01:16.46]Loneliness was tough;
[01:19.03]The toughest role you ever played .
[01:23.14]Hollywood created a superstar
[01:25.39]And pain was the price you paid.
[01:29.88]Even when you died '
[01:33.64]The press still hounded you;
[01:36.34]All the papers had to say
[01:39.33]Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[01:44.82]And it seems to me you lived your life
[01:47.96]like a candle in the wind:
[01:51.65]Never knowing who to cling to
[01:54.96]when the rain set in.
[01:59.39]And I would have liked to have known you '
[02:02.02]But I was just a kid;
[02:04.81]Your candle burned out long before
[02:09.62]your legend ever did.
