Lyrics

[00:14.211] Goodbye, Norma Jeane
[00:17.075] Though I never knew you at all
[00:20.306] You had the grace to hold yourself
[00:23.536] While those around you crawled
[00:28.390] They crawled out of the woodwork
[00:32.517] And they whispered into your brain
[00:35.608] They set you on the treadmill
[00:38.584] And they made you change your name
[00:44.755] And it seems to me you lived your life
[00:48.309] Like a candle in the wind
[00:52.219] Never knowing who to cling to
[00:55.819] When the rain set in
[00:59.651] And I would've liked to know you
[01:02.968] But I was just a kid
[01:06.128] Your candle burned out long before
[01:09.856] Your legend ever did
[01:25.440] Loneliness was tough
[01:28.117] The toughest role you ever played
[01:31.857] Hollywood created a superstar
[01:34.844] And pain was the price you paid
[01:40.009] And even when you died
[01:44.068] Oh, the press still hounded you
[01:47.010] All the papers had to say
[01:50.174] Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[01:55.903] And it seems to me you lived your life
[01:59.716] Like a candle in the wind
[02:03.586] Never knowing who to cling to
[02:07.208] When the rain set in
[02:11.140] And I would've liked to know you
[02:14.386] But I was just a kid
[02:17.578] Your candle burned out long before
[02:21.220] Your legend ever did
[02:36.817] Goodbye, Norma Jeane
[02:39.751] Though I never knew you at all
[02:42.807] You had the grace to hold yourself
[02:46.257] While those around you crawled
[02:52.115] Goodbye, Norma Jeane
[02:54.716] From the young man in the 22nd row
[02:58.250] Who sees you as something more than sexual
[03:01.653] More than just our Marilyn Monroe
[03:07.322] And it seems to me you lived your life
[03:11.060] Like a candle in the wind
[03:14.916] Never knowing who to cling to
[03:18.703] When the rain set in
[03:22.266] And I would've liked to know you
[03:25.424] But I was just a kid
[03:28.727] Your candle burned out long before
[03:32.467] Your legend ever did
[03:38.232] Your candle burned out long before
[03:42.085] Your legend ever did
