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