Goodbye
Norma
Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself,
of those around you crying
They crawled out the woodwork,
and they whispered into your brain
They said you were the threat and they
made you change your name
And it seems to me you live your life
like a candle in the wind
Never knowing you to cling
to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to know
you but I was just too clear
The candle burned out long before
A night you never did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
I created a su perstar
The pain is the price you pay
Even when you die
All the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that
Marilyn was found in me
And it seems to me
You live your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
when the rain's setting
And I would have liked to have known you,
but I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before you
literally 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, for being a man in 22nd world
Who sees you as something more than such a woman,
just a man in the end
And it seems to me you live your
life like a candle in the wind
You never know who to cling
to when the rain sets in
And I would have liked to mourn you,
but I was jealous of you
Your candle burned out long
before a legend ever did
Your candle burned out long
before a legend ever did
