Candle In the Wind
Elton John
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 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 like to have known you,
But I was just a kid,
You candle burned out long before,
The legend ever did.
Lonliness was tough,
The toughest role you ever played,
Hollywood created a superstar,
And the pain was the price you paid.
Even when you died,
The press still hounded you,
All the papers had to say,
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude.
Goodbye Norma Jean,
Though I never knew you at all,
You had the grace to hold yourself,
While those around you crawled.
Goodbye Norma Jean,
From the young man in the 22nd row,
Who sees you as something more than sexual,
More than just our Marilyn Monroe.
