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
