Candle In The Wind(oriiginal) - by Elton John |
|
Goodbye Norma Jean |
|
Though I never knew you at all |
|
You had the grace to hold yourself |
|
While those around you crawled |
|
They crawled out of the woodwork |
|
And they whispered into your brain |
|
They set you on the treadmill |
|
And they made you change your name |
|
And it seems to me you lived your life |
|
Like a candle in the wind |
|
Never knowing who to cling to |
|
When the rain set in |
|
And I would have liked to have known you |
|
But I was just a kid |
|
Your candle burned out long before |
|
Your legend ever did |
|
Loneliness was tough |
|
The toughest role you ever played |
|
Hollywood created a superstar |
|
And pain was the price you paid |
|
Even when you died |
|
The press still hounded you |
|
All the papers had to say |
|
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude |
|
And it seems to me you lived your life |
|
Like a candle in the wind |
|
Never knowing who to cling to |
|
When the rain set in |
|
And I would have liked to have known you |
|
But I was just a kid |
|
Your candle burned out long before |
|
Your legend ever did |
|
Goodbye Norma Jean |
|
Though I never knew you at all |
|
You had the grace to hold yourself |
|
While those around you crawled |
|
Goodbye Norma Jean |
|
From the young man in the 22nd row |
|
Who sees you as something more than sexual |
|
More than just our Marilyn Monroe |
|
And it seems to me you lived your life |
|
Like a candle in the wind |
|
Never knowing who to cling to |
|
When the rain set in |
|
And I would have liked to have known you |
|
But I was just a kid |
|
Your candle burned out long before |
|
Your legend ever did |
|
Your candle burned out long before |
|
Your legend ever did |
