Candle in the Wind

Goodbye Norma Jean though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain

They sent you on the treadmill made you change your name

Well it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in

And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

The loneliness was tough but the toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar they made you change your face

Then even when you died the press still hounded you

And all the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude

But it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in

And I would have liked to have know you but I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Goodbye Norma Jean no I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled

They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain

They sent you on the treadmill and made you change your name

Now it seems to me you live your life like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in

And I would have liked to have know 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
