Candle in the Wind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

[Verse 3]
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid

[Verse 4]
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

[Chorus]
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
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

[Bridge]
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just Marilyn Monroe

[Chorus]
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
Well I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
The candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

[Outro]
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye
Goodbye Norma Jean
