Ed Sheeran - Candle In The Wind lyrics

rate me

Feat. Elton John

(Verse)

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 put you on the 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 liked to known you, but I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did

(Verse)

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar

And pain was the price you paid

Even when you died, all 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

And I would liked to known you, but I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did

(Verse)

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 from the trail of 22nd row

Who sees you as something 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

And I would have liked to have known you but I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did x2
