Goodbye Norma Jean

good bye 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 a 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 liked to have known you

but i was just a kid

your candle burnt out long before

your legend never did

 

Elton John / Bernie Taupin
