Goodbye Norma Jean |
[00:10.58] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[00:13.33] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[00:16.73] |
While those around you crawled |
[00:21.15] |
They crawled out of the woodwork |
[00:24.64] |
And they whispered into your brain |
[00:27.49] |
They set you on the treadmill |
[00:30.43] |
And they made you change your name |
[00:36.03] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[00:39.23] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[00:42.78] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[00:46.13] |
When the rain set in |
[00:50.34] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[00:52.75] |
But I was just a kid |
[00:55.61] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[01:00.83] |
Your legend ever did |
[01:15.16] |
Loneliness was tough |
[01:17.96] |
The toughest role you ever played |
[01:21.16] |
Hollywood created a superstar |
[01:24.36] |
And pain was the price you paid |
[01:28.85] |
Even when you died |
[01:32.70] |
Oh the press still hounded you |
[01:35.35] |
All the papers had to say |
[01:38.14] |
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude |
[01:43.82] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[01:46.96] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[01:50.57] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[01:54.17] |
When the rain set in |
[01:57.62] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[02:00.52] |
But I was just a kid |
[02:03.42] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[02:08.51] |
Your legend ever did |
[02:22.90] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:25.61] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[02:28.26] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[02:31.51] |
While those around you crawled |
[02:37.91] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:40.17] |
From the young man in the 22nd row |
[02:43.51] |
Who sees you as something as more than sexual |
[02:46.32] |
More than just our Marilyn Monroe |
[02:51.92] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[02:55.12] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[02:58.41] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[03:01.82] |
When the rain set in |
[03:05.86] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[03:08.26] |
But I was just a kid |
[03:11.31] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:16.27] |
Your legend ever did |
[03:23.46] |
And I would have liked to have known you |
[03:26.53] |
But I was just a kid |
[03:30.40] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:36.12] |
Your legend ever did |
