[00:14.211]Goodbye, Norma Jeane
[00:17.075]Though I never knew you at all
[00:20.306]You had the grace to hold yourself
[00:23.536]While those around you crawled
[00:28.390]They crawled out of the woodwork
[00:32.517]And they whispered into your brain
[00:35.608]They set you on the treadmill
[00:38.584]And they made you change your name
[00:44.755]And it seems to me you lived your life
[00:48.309]Like a candle in the wind
[00:52.219]Never knowing who to cling to
[00:55.819]When the rain set in
[00:59.651]And I would've liked to know you
[01:02.968]But I was just a kid
[01:06.128]Your candle burned out long before
[01:09.856]Your legend ever did
[01:25.440]Loneliness was tough
[01:28.117]The toughest role you ever played
[01:31.857]Hollywood created a superstar
[01:34.844]And pain was the price you paid
[01:40.009]And even when you died
[01:44.068]Oh, the press still hounded you
[01:47.010]All the papers had to say
[01:50.174]Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[01:55.903]And it seems to me you lived your life
[01:59.716]Like a candle in the wind
[02:03.586]Never knowing who to cling to
[02:07.208]When the rain set in
[02:11.140]And I would've liked to know you
[02:14.386]But I was just a kid
[02:17.578]Your candle burned out long before
[02:21.220]Your legend ever did
[02:36.817]Goodbye, Norma Jeane
[02:39.751]Though I never knew you at all
[02:42.807]You had the grace to hold yourself
[02:46.257]While those around you crawled
[02:52.115]Goodbye, Norma Jeane
[02:54.716]From the young man in the 22nd row
[02:58.250]Who sees you as something more than sexual
[03:01.653]More than just our Marilyn Monroe
[03:07.322]And it seems to me you lived your life
[03:11.060]Like a candle in the wind
[03:14.916]Never knowing who to cling to
[03:18.703]When the rain set in
[03:22.266]And I would've liked to know you
[03:25.424]But I was just a kid
[03:28.727]Your candle burned out long before
[03:32.467]Your legend ever did
[03:38.232]Your candle burned out long before
[03:42.085]Your legend ever did

Goodbye, Norma Jeane
