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 set you on the trademill
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 to have 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 when 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 to have known you
But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before
your legend ever did
