Goodbye
Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all you had the grey to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the wood work and they whispered into your brain
They set you on a treadmill and they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked
I've known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough the toughest role
You ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even you died
Oh the press still hounded you: all the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked I've known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Goodbye
Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all you had the grey to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye
Norma Jean from the young man in the twenty second row who see you as something more than sexual more than just our
Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked I've known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
