Candle In the Wind - Acoustic
Goodbye, Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself when 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've liked to know 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 star and pain was the price you paid
And 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've liked to know you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
And I would've liked to know you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
You had the grace to hold yourself when 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've liked to know 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 star and pain was the price you paid
And 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've liked to know you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
And I would've liked to know you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
