Candle m The Wimi
CD
Goodbye. Norma Jean.

though I never knew you at all.
You've had the grace

to hold yourself

as those around you crawled.
They crawled out of the woodwork

and they whispered

into yOur brain.
They set you on a treadmill

and they made

you change your name.
It seems to me you've lived your life
like a candle in the wind.
never knowing who to cling to

when the rain set in.
I would have

liked to have known you.

but I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out

long before your legend ever did.
Loneliness was tough-
toughest role you ever played.
Hollywood created a superstar.

and pain was the price you paid.
Even when you died.

oh. the press still hounded you.
All the papers had to say

was that Marilyn

was found in the nude.
Seems to me you've lived your life
like a candle in the wind.
never knowing who to cling to

when the rain set in.
I would have

liked to have 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've had the grace

to hold yourself

as those around you crawl.
Goodbye. Norma Jean.

from a young man in the

twenty-sccond row. .
. . . who sees you as something

more than sexual.
more than just our

Marilyn Monroe.
It seems to me you've lived your life
like a candle in the wind.
never knowing who to cling to

when the rain set in.
I would have

liked to have 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.
