Lyrics

[00:08.27] Goodbye Norma Jean
[00:09.17]
[00:10.42] Though I never knew you at all
[00:12.66]
[00:13.48] You had the grace to hold yourself
[00:15.21]
[00:15.84] While those around you crawled
[00:17.65]
[00:20.04] They crawled out of the woodwork
[00:21.56]
[00:23.26] And they whispered into your brain
[00:25.16]
[00:25.77] They set you on the treadmill
[00:27.37]
[00:28.30] And they made you change your name
[00:30.60]
[00:33.17] And it seems to me you lived your life
[00:36.55] Like a candle in the wind
[00:37.94]
[00:39.22] Never knowing who to cling to
[00:41.31]
[00:41.96] When the rain set in
[00:43.83]
[00:45.89] And I would have liked to have known you
[00:48.83] But I was just a kid
[00:50.80] Your candle burned out long before
[00:52.89]
[00:55.36] Your legend ever did
[00:56.95]
[01:08.40] Loneliness was tough
[01:09.38]
[01:10.39] The toughest role you ever played
[01:12.46]
[01:13.68] Hollywood created a superstar
[01:14.72]
[01:15.57] And pain was the price you paid
[01:17.77]
[01:20.11] Even when you died
[01:21.16]
[01:23.27] Oh the press still hounded you
[01:25.49]
[01:26.13] All the papers had to say
[01:27.64]
[01:28.18] Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[01:31.43]
[01:32.93] And it seems to me you lived your life
[01:36.39] Like a candle in the wind
[01:37.74]
[01:39.22] Never knowing who to cling to
[01:41.04]
[01:41.97] When the rain set in
[01:43.67]
[01:45.95] And I would have liked to have known you
[01:48.60]
[01:49.63] But I was just a kid
[01:50.93] Your candle burned out long before
[01:52.92]
[01:55.61] Your legend ever did
[01:56.72]
[02:08.38] Goodbye Norma Jean
[02:09.71]
[02:10.48] Though I never knew you at all
[02:13.02]
[02:13.52] You had the grace to hold yourself
[02:15.08]
[02:15.84] While those around you crawled
[02:17.74]
[02:20.33] Goodbye Norma Jean
[02:21.78]
[02:22.71] From the young man in the 22nd row
[02:25.32]
[02:26.21] Who sees you as something more than sexual
[02:28.42]
[02:29.17] More than just our Marilyn Monroe
[02:30.51]
[02:33.07] And it seems to me you lived your life
[02:35.72]
[02:36.28] Like a candle in the wind
[02:37.77]
[02:39.24] Never knowing who to cling to
[02:41.61]
[02:42.26] When the rain set in
[02:43.83]
[02:46.15] And I would have liked to have known you
[02:48.83] But I was just a kid
[02:50.83] Your candle burned out long before
[02:52.76] Your legend ever did
[02:57.04]
[03:00.48] Your candle burned out long before
[03:02.25]
[03:04.98] Your legend ever did
